Sheet music

In Lovecraft’s “The Music of Erich Zann,” the viol that Erich Zann loves to play is a symbol for a drug because Zann becomes addicted to playing his viol. The story begins with a university student, who is the narrator, telling of the time he visited Paris and had to stay in lodging that he could afford, which is where he met Erich Zann, the protagonist, who plays otherworldly music with his viol. The college student stays in an apartment on Rue d’Auseil street, which is in a part of the city he…

First time I enrolled in a music class, I was six years old and discovered a world of sounds and rhythms that, in a few years, turned into pieces of sheet music and instruments I wanted to explore. After three years of music classes for kids, I decided to learn how to play the flute and dedicated myself to the tricky task of making sounds through steady blows and precise finger movements. I believe that most of my determination were strengthened during that time. Furthermore, I joined a choral…

Andreyevna née d'Assier, was 18 years younger than Ilya and the second of his three wives. Both Ilya and Alexandra were trained in the arts, including music, which was a necessity; living in a remote area of Russia posed a need for entertainment. Tchaikovsky began piano lessons at age five and within three years he had become as skilled at reading sheet music as his teacher. However, despite their initial support, in 1850 Pyotr’s parents decided to send him to the Imperial School of…

with live music before so this was actually a first for me. Although I’m not sure how I would feel about going to concert of this genre just to listen to music. I think it was the combination of the food, the music and overall laid-back atmosphere of the restaurant made the experience pleasant. This is definitely not my preferred genre and I think without food or company the experience would’ve been a bit boring. Other than for education purposes, or just to have some background music for my…

Hum. The touch of each music note, the pause between the notes, the extension of the note through the pedal is my escape. The background music, the lyrics, and each beat is my cue to express myself. The harshness of the drums, the swiftness of the guitars, and the steadiness of the pianos, are my way to express myself. Even if the radio or my fingers are not hitting the keys, music is a way for me to illustrate my ideas. Music has allowed me to pour out my own writing creations on paper.…

On Monday, October 19th at 7:30pm, I attended the USA Piano Ensembles “Fall Concert” at the Laidlaw Recital Hall. The concert contained five different pieces of music. The first piece of music performed was called “Die Fledermaus Overture.” This piece was composed by Johann Strauss (1825-1899) and it was arranged by Makoto Goto. The piece was played by Tracy Monk and Tobin Nelson on one piano. One person was seated next to them and they would turn the page while they played the piece. The piece…

have been working on music for a long time but I have been really sucsessful for the last couple of years starting in…

Music is the creation of rhythms, beats, and other elements blended together to create a track. It can be with or without lyrics, however modern day music is generally created with lyrics. Sound and music are two completely different things; music is organized sound with repetition and rhyme which has meaning behind it. But unorganized sound is simply just sound without meaning. The roots of modern day music stem back to the early twentieth century. During this era the music industry was booming…

pieces I’ve seen so far in this class. It’s uniqueness was further enhanced by the live music that was juxtaposed with the performance. The live music added this aura of futuristic-dystopian-game to the performance, which I think mashed well with performance as a whole. An example of this was at the very start of the performance, when the performers started walking, their movement was stiff and with the live music in the background, it helped me imagine that the performers are robots or are from…

younger there were many instruments that I could play quite well but somehow forgot how the music and the corresponding chords that go with the music read. I found this out recently when my daughter decided she wanted to join band and the instrument she decided to play, I was ecstatic and discussed how I could help her with practicing because of my prior experience. However the day she came home with sheet music and need assistance I was in a total loss. It was like my mind went blank and I…
