Yngwie Malsteen: Music Analysis

Improved Essays
I believe the style-period that most closely characterizes Yngwie Malsteen’s music is the classical period because it gives a single instrument a chance to shine, but at the same time has elements of the romantic and baroque periods. I consider Yngwie Malsteen’s piece to be concert music. Malsteen piece is very clever, he definitely thinks outside of the box, so when compared to other composer like Purcell, Bach, or Beethoven, he seems to have the same kind of creativity that make them all stand out in their own unique ways. This excerpt is a concerto form of music since as I understand it, a concerto is a piece of music made especially for a solo instrument to play along with an orchestra. So, in this excerpt the guitar is the solo instrument

    Guido d’Arezzo was an Italian Benedictine Monk born in France in the century year of 995. Guido was not a composer during this time, instead he was a musical therapist and teacher. Although he was not a composer, Guido made the discovery of a new form of music notation after moving to Italy where he also worked for Bishop Theobald, despite the fact that he was a music therapist and teacher ("GUIDO D'AREZZO"). With his new discovery, this method made it possible for composers to record their music on paper. Beforehand, singers and composers had to remember their own melodies and chants by memory, causing major differences within the music as they passed the music down generations ("GUIDO D'AREZZO").…

    Chapter 7, Sense and Sensibility: A Range of Musicality by Oliver Sacks, is about individuals as having or not having "a great ear." This assumption implies as a begin, having a precise perception of "pitch and rhythm. " The author describes Rebecca West’s self-portraying novel The Fountain Overflows, an account of life in a musical family, with a mother who is an expert artist (like West's own mom), a mentally splendid yet unmusical father, and three youngsters—two of whom, similar to their mom, are profoundly musical. The best ear, in any case, has a place with the "unmusical" child, Cordelia.…

Many people listen to music for different reasons, I listen to music because it distracts me from the sounds round me and because, at times, I can relate to the lyrics of a specific song. Music alters my mood or even enhances what I’m already feeling.…

    What I think I did well: I think I played long notes well and extended the notes to their full value, for example, in measures 6-8 I didn’t pause in between the half notes. I also think I articulated well because at the slurs I didn’t tongue and on the notes without slurs, I remembered to tongue them. There are many measures in the song where there are slurs, but in measure 5 I slurred the first three notes and tongued the last one. Most of the time, I didn’t breathe in between notes until there was a breath mark. I didn’t play too fast or too slow.…

    It’s not a matter of expanding my musical exposure per se, but more of a matter of incorporating more styles and genres of music into my ‘musical diet’ such as more classical music such as that of Mozart rather than just that of Debussy, more specifically his most popular piece Claire de Lune. People are always talking about music, whether it is how it impacts their lives or how they just enjoy certain aspects or styles. However it’s more than just talking about what is my personal taste in music, but what speaks to me about the music, its components, what makes a song, rather than just the beat or the message it’s speaking about. Art has come a long ways from that of painting on a canvas or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as time advanced…
