Recital

As I am watching piano recitals played by different performances, I realize that each person has his or her own strength, and they also have many characteristics in common at the same time, such as concentration, professionalism of performance and so on. After I watched all five piano recitals, I know that it is important for a piano beginner to learn their skills, body movements and emotions. In the Bach's Italian Concerto, BWV 971 played by Andras Schiff, there are three movements with…

I will be reviewing the performance of Brianna Blount and Francisco Zabala. On February 20th, they had their junior flute recital in the Bower school of music’s recital hall. They performed a variety of repertoire from the 1600’s to the present both solo and in an ensemble. They played pieces with multiple movements such as Concerto IV by J.B. de Boismortier and pieces without multiple movements such as Canzone by Samuel Barber. I enjoyed the variety of the concert the most because there were…

These are some of the pieces these students played…

A lot of people have talents or skills. One of one my talents or skills is dance. My favorite types of dance is lyrical and ballet, I have class every Monday, and a recital every year. I like lyrical and ballet because they push your body to the limits. If you take pointe ballet you have to put all your body weight on your toes. Ballet is a form of self discipline. You have to make sure every part of your body is how it should be while doing a leap, or turn. Also I like lyrical because its like…

It's my pleasure to attend piano recital on the Friday evening, February Twenty-Third at Recital Hall. The performer, Gregory Wang, who was a senior of Jacobs school of music, and this was his graduation recital. And also, Gregory Wang, he is my teacher of my Beginning Piano Class I (P110). He performed two pieces of music, which were Sonata No.2 in D Major, Op. 94a by Sergei Prokofiev in 1943 and Trio in E-Flat Major, Op.40 by Johannes Brahmas. By the way, Sonata No.2 in D Major, Op. 94a has…

orchestra recital in front of our parents to help us prepare. The purpose is to allow us to adjust to playing for other people and to give our teachers an idea of how ready we are. When I was in seventh grade, I had never done this before. My trio wasn’t as good as I had hoped and I was so afraid of sounding bad in front of all my friends and their families. The day of the recital, my nervousness started to grow and grow until I felt like there was no possible way I could go to this recital and…

part of the Faculty Tuesday Series, and Andrew Ramos’s Doctor of Musical Arts Recital. Both of these recitals were a new experience due to the fact that I had never been to a piano recital at the University of Colorado before. Each piano performance was different, whether it was the music performed or the type of style of concert. Although they illustrated many differences, there were also some similarities in the recitals. Overall, it was intriguing to be able to attend two concerts that…

The San Antonio College Guitar Studio Recital took place October 20, 2014. I first arrived at the McAllister Auditorium (1300 San Pedro Ave. S.A. TX 78212) at 7 PM. It was my first time in the colleges Auditorium, but not my first time experiencing a musical performance. I have attended several times the theatre to listen to the orchestra from my hometown. It is a marvelous experience. At the entrance I could appreciate an organ, which has had an important history in classical music, especially…

Shelley Hanmo Qian performed on Sunday November 16, 2014 at Recital Hall. She played Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15 which was composed by Johannes Brahms in 1854-1859. The Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op 15 consisted of three individual movements. These movements are named Maestoso, Adagio, and Rondo: Allegro non troppo. In Italian, Concerto means concert. As a piece of music, a Concerto signifies that there is a solo instrument which plays the melody of the piece while being accompanied by an…

has given me a true appreciation for music, theatre, and any other live presentation of the arts. For some, attending a live performance could be a drag, but to me it is quite the opposite. Tuesday at the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall was no exception as I attended the recital for Iowa State’s Wind Ensemble Spring Concert. The concert began with suspense and thrill as the ensemble played “Danzon No. 2” I felt as though I was watching the opening credits of a James Bond film when the musicians…
