The theme of this section was described by flute and clarinet. The rhythms in the classical period were to be pleasing to the ear, like all of which Mozart piece does. The final part had many similarities with the two previous chapters. However, this chapter was less bleak but happier and livelier. This chapter started with the swapping of the range of music and the tonal sense of the piece was very strong, hence the apparent comprehensibility, with the rhythms was very flexible, and…
Everything started when my brain had triggered a sign that I was born to make music along with my companions. When one of my friends in sixth grade kept pushing me to try to join band and make music, I was hesitant.

G major, and Schubert’s Rondo in B minor for Violin and Piano. The first piece I will be reviewing is Mozart’s Violin Sonant No. 33 in E-flat major. This composition is about thirty minutes long, and is the perfect length. It starts off with a very mature and dynamic Mozart feel.…

Richard Rodgers was very involved in music since an early age, he actually started playing piano at age six.

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.
