For this paper I attended two events, one large scale and one small-scale. For the large-scale event I attended Mahler’s Symphony no. 6 in A minor and for the small-scale event I attended Seraphic Fire- Mozart: Requiem. I attended Mahler’s Symphony no. 6 in A minor first.

For me to get a pair of seats together the…

are saddened with loving the nature part of Bend, but not having the big city feel they want.

It could be related to the lack of characteristics that contribute to a sensory picture of a city, such as the walls and floors, the rooves and windows. It’s simply the pipes, the hidden veins of cities that no one thinks about when they’re out of sight, so they seem less of the city even though they are, functionally, of deep importance to it.
