Hyundai Sonata

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. Therefore, it contains the sections: exposition, a bridge, development, recapitulation, and coda. Movement I begins with the lower string section playing sweetly and smoothly, possibly representing calm seas while sailing to the…

The concert I will review for my final assignment will be Ludwig Van Beethoven’s 9th symphony as performed by The Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It contains four movements: The first movement starts with hard dramatic strings, leading into a plethora of pleasant melodies and lovely consonance. An emotional rollercoaster would best describe this movement as the piece transitions from soft calming sounds from the horns and woodwinds to hard-pressed portions that are dominated by the string group.…

Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, op.83, composed by Johannes Brahms. In order to analyze this piece properly it is best to know the rondo within the piece. It helps to determine repetition and the featured alternating episodes. For this piece you can hear ABABA, which makes it a dynamic piece to listen to.When listening to the First A and the Last A sections you can here how similar they are. When you pay close attention to the Middle A you notice more instruments in this area.…

he would use tonal surprises in the beginning of a composition in order to foreshadow the direction of the rest of the piece. Symphony No. 99 is a shining example of this contrasting style that Haydn loved to employ so often. Symphony No. 99 is a sonata style piece scored for two flutes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and the typical strings. The analytical chart for movement 1 provides a complete analysis of the score, but for the purposes of exploring some of…

Beethoven and Mozart: both masters of their generation’s music and often portrayed as the building blocks of what music is today. Each made significant movements under the genre of classical but are both known for their unique executions of duets. Both Beethoven’s Allegro comodo and Mozart’s Allegro demonstrate each of their technical abilities yet are completely different in the way each piece is executed. Beethoven’s Comodo demonstrates his focus on both parts, in which they both share…

emotional content of the piece leaves a visceral impression for the audience. Schnittke wrote two violin sonatas, the second of which is entitled “quasi una sonata”. This piece was taken from a film score that he wrote for an animated film, so he quotes from his own material. He also quotes from other composers including Bach and Berg. The piece is titled “quasi una sonata” to question the concept of a sonata and to break from traditions of form and texture. There is much drama in the work,…

The Symphony in C is a work planted immovably in Stravinsky's neoclassical period. He headed out to California where he finished the last development of the orchestra in August 1940.Shortly after he started the work in late 1938 his girl kicked the bucket of tuberculosis; this was followed in March of 1939 with the passing of his wife, and his mom's demise in June. He proceeded with work on the ensemble, in any case, and by August had finished the initial two developments. He directed the main…

Attention Getter: I will start by saying something to the effect of “From Beethoven to Bieber, an incredibly wide variety of music has been recognized as ‘good,’ but why are these songs good? Why is Trout Mask Replica, an awful sounding cacophonous mash of notes, seen as good?” Interest Explained. (What experiences have caused the writer to become interested?) I first heard Trout Mask Replica on a video I saw on Facebook, and since then I have been enthralled in finding out why the video…

1. The piano sonata was a genre that was very important to the Classical Era and that somewhat evolved from the regular sonata. The piano sonata was an instrumental work that was designed for two pianos, or similarly one other instrument (violin, cello, etc.) and a piano. This genre became very important for amateurs who wanted to practice and perform in the comfort of their own home and for composers who wished to express the conversation-like aspects of this genre. 2. Ludwig Van Beethoven has…
