The Romantic Era was an artistic time for musicians, but finding a female amongst them was rare. However, from this time Clara Schumann was born to be a renowned pianist and composer in Germany and across Europe. Clara was self conscious about her gender is the music business, but she didn’t let that stop her. As a child prodigy, Clara’s career took off at a young age and flourished for sixty years.

After a piano recital, June said : “But my mother's expression was what devastated me; a quiet,blank look that said she had lost…

The picture is of me. I am smiling at the camera, clutching on to a bouquet of roses. A red, sparkly ribbon is tied around the bouquet. I am standing by a big window with a great view of the church’s garden. The garden is filled with lush green trees and bushes. A single, ornate fountain lies at it’s center, the water sparkling in the bright afternoon light. The sunlight shines through the window and onto my hair. This picture was taken on the day of my uncle’s wedding. At the age of…

in the first place. If she didn’t improve, maybe her mother would drop the shackles again. Therefore, June practices without effort, preventing herself from getting better so she wouldn’t feel defeat if she messes up. When she is told to play in a recital, she feels happy that she can prove she is a prodigy, but “[plays] this strange jumble through two repeats, the sour notes staying with [her] all the way to the end” (139). Because of her failure, both her mother and June feel as if they “had…

The recital that I chose to watch was by Yuja Wang during the 15th edition of the Verbier Festival & Academy. The recital takes place on the 29 of July in 2008. Yuja Wang played La Valse by Maurice Ravel. Maurice Ravel stated La Valse in 1906, then called Wien, but didn’t finish it until 1920.[1] Ravel used different forms of dynamics to make the piece unique. The piece would move from mezzo piano to forte. This switching from mezzo piano to forte would vary throughout the piece.…

The U.S Census Bureau defines baby boomers as those employees born between 1946 and 1964. Accordingly, this generation is currently in the mid to late part of their careers.

This is illustrated to us through his demeaning body language and his agitated tone towards others, “Go away. I’m not home”. Further into the movie, we see Gru’s relationship with the little children cultivate into a loving and caring relationship, as Gru opens up to the children and saves them from the notorious villain named Vector. Furthermore, the…

On Tuesday, September 29, 2015, I attended a student ensemble orchestra concert at UTSA called "The Natural Realm". It was a free concert that took place in UTSA 's recital hall, which is located in their art building. The recital hall was a good sized room, not to big or small.

It was a tremendous performance filled…
