Awaiting for the symphony to begin, sitting at the top final row on the room, I realized my surrounding was that large amounts of older folks wore presentable outfits, students with casual attire, and the orchestra wearing…

    Music on Monday by Phillip O. Paglialonga Concert Review I attended Phillip Paglialonga’s performance on September 12th. I was really glad that I am able to enjoy the music after a day of study, especially on Monday. It was my first time attending this Monday recital session at Squires, and I am hoping to attend more because of the high quality this performance.

    This concert was to showcase the international pianist Molly Morkoski and as well the master class the after day. Prof. Morkoski is an instructor of Piano at CUNY-Lehman College in the Bronx, New York and has come all the way across the country to showcase her marvelous piano playing. One idea that really captured my attention in the program notes is the program and the choice of pieces; some are great piano repertoire and while one of them is an orchestrated piece. Starting off the concert…

    Beethoven Symphony 5

    • 325 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Symphony no. 5 definitely stood out in all aspects of the piece to me. What I see as effective is how well the audience is drawn into the piece. From the moment this symphony begins, the audience is forced to direct their attention towards the music due to the full orchestra presenting the first tune in fortissimo and then directly moving to piano.
