Accompaniment

social context (11). To better mirror this statement, the class suggested I follow the format of the game “telephone” with my sample group. By having my group telephone the story to each other, they are successfully engaged with an interactive accompaniment, and perhaps I would catch the collaborative, social effort to re-create the story.

3.3 Piano Figuration 3.3.1 Use of Percussive Figuration Prokofiev first used percussive figuration in Sarcasms Op. 17 and Toccata Op. 11 written in the same year. At the beginning of Sarcasms, the Tempestoso is depicted by the percussive introduction. The harsh percussive sound in the interval of the augmented fourth is not only reinforced by ff, but also projects an intense emotion.

patients and the medical staff from the county hospital were having miscommunication and misunderstandings.
