Sonata

the excellent actresses and actor who made me laugh and cry. The scenes in which they were looking at the sky were beautiful; the lighting was breathtaking, especially at the end of the play. Multiple piano pieces including Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’ helped place an underlying somber mood when appropriate. As a story, I was anxious to see how it played out, from if she would be credited with her work or if she would pair with Mr. Shaw. I always appreciate anything that…

Beethoven began his early training with his abusive father Johann van, although his offensive tactics towards Beethoven hurt him physically and emotionally, Beethoven develop a keenness for playing instruments. His creativity surpassed all of the pain and suffering caused by such a traumatic childhood. Once Beethoven sharpened his talent he was able to achieve a position as an appointed organist for the courts, his salary was about 150 florins. This achievement made his father very proud of his…

At 10 years old, my sisters and I were taken away from our mom. We then isolated and were sent to other relatives as opposed to going to foster care. My grandma took me in on my mom's side. She was a piano player, a minister, and as a result of her I learned of Beethoven and every single other sort of music. It was at ten years old that my adoration for music happened. I played each melody I could discover about having a broken heart, depression, absolution, meanings of adoration and family,…

reason. Goosfraba… I shut the door, my ears, my mind, stoically putting up a façade of indifference towards the “melodious” – so they are described – double stops my sister painfully wriggles from her bow. Oh, how protean she is, making even Handel’s Sonata sound like a prostrated pugilist proofreading a portentous polonaise from the ink of which a pungent odor escapes, infiltrating nostrils and seeping in through the cracks of an already resigned soul. D sharp! Can’t she hear it! It’s too…

On Friday, November 17, 2017, I had the pleasure to watch Hansel and Gretel opera. I really like Hansel and Gretel opera because I never see a Hansel and Gretel movie or any opera show like this before. Hansel and Gretel's opera was my first opera show I saw and I really like it. First, I thought I going to hate this show, but I end up really love the story. If I have to choose my least favorite act of the night it has to be Act 1 because I only saw Hansel and Gretel singing just opera. But…

resulted in absolutely amazing, one-of-a-kind contributions. Mozart lived only 36 years, but started his musical career at 6.

Romantic Period. Although Henry Purcell’s piece “If Music be the Food of Love” was unappealing to me he however was one of the most influential composers and influenced other composers through his different pieces in different musical categories (sonatas, chamber music, operas). The purpose of the piece “If Music be the Food of Love” could be a portrait of how a person can go crazy and do foolish things because of love. The Duke (the singer) of the song drowns himself in music in order to ignore…

minute details that give a piece its character. Yet as high school started and my academic coursework became more challenging, my time was limited. I decided to stop playing the piano to focus on school work and extracurricular activities. However, sonatas and nocturnes kept getting stuck in my head. They taunted me, tormenting my mind with voices saying “You weren’t good enough to continue,” and “All the time spent practicing has went to waste.” I determined to prove these thoughts wrong. The…

Romanticism was a literary movement that traveled in every country of Europe, the United States, and Latin America that lasted from approximately 1750 to 1870. The Romantic Era reached France around the 18th century. This movement was born in the setting full of revolution and wars that caused tension and doubt on the security of the age of reason.
