My favorite parts of the program were the performance of The Iron Foundry and the conducting of Rouvali, but I was not as enthusiastic about the…

The solemn air swelling in the street and the dazzling atmosphere in the concert hall supplemented my expectation towards the concert; when we finally sat on our seats, I couldn’t wait for it to start.

In this film, the Vienna Philharmonic played Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 in E Minor “From the New World.” This piece displays the serenity of the new world, with violins and violas playing pizzicato to resemble trickling streams, the basses and cellos playing fortissimo in order to represent roaring rivers, and the brass playing in unison to signify the enormous, yet beautiful mountain ranges. Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 contains four movements. The first movement is in sonata allegro form.…

are then presented nearly the exact opposite with extreme dissonance and unpredictable qualities of the modern era in Ainsi la nuit by Dutilleux. Finally, we see longer, warm melodies with more expression and tone color in the romantic Quartet by Dvořák. This was a diverse and interesting…

For example, through the suggestion of his Conservatory director and mentor, Antonin Dvorak, he incorporated African-American spirituals in his own compositions as a means to preserve them. Here, he also leads his identity not only as a composer of new music, but also as a singer of these spirituals through his compositions. Du…
