(13). The father’s weak attempt at controlling Gregor. The next time is much worse: The apple literally forced its way into Gregor’s back” (37). The near fatal injury is nothing compared to when he makes his final attempt. His sister is playing the violin when he interrupts her…

pieces of music. Additionally, there were unique pieces such as an original composition which was played with guitars which no other performances used. Another was the Tristette by Chopin which was performed by Linda Lin (piano) and Cindy Le (violin) and the violin emphasized the sadistic tone that Chopin wanted when written. The finale was more like a performance of a school band with the whole Music Society coming together for the last piece of music, Serenade for Strings by Edward…

Beethoven, again only introduced the first movement: I. Allegro Moderato. Dr. Yu-Mei Huang (violin), Brendan Townsend (cello), and Dr. Fritz Gechter (piano), were an all absolutely outstanding trio and show cased a beautiful composition of Chamber Music. As being recognized as a student of Dr. Huang’s, it is a great honor to watch her play, 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 started at 7:30 p.m. and ended around 8:40. The orchestra concert was conducted by Eugene Dowdy, a music professor and director of orchestral studies and conducting at UTSA. It was a tremendous performance filled…

Gladwell’s argument for the 10,000-Hour Rule is firmly supported by a study performed in the 1990s by K. Anders Ericsson and two colleagues. Their study monitored how many hours students practiced playing the violin. This study showed that students who put in the most hours deliberately practicing the violin to improve their skill became elite performers. Elite performers had practiced at lease 10,000 hours (Gladwell, 2011, pp.…

Do you prefer watching an old play with classic music and dulcet poetry or a modern movie with beautiful background and excellent acting skill? If the answer were the former, the movie Cyrano de Bergerac would be a good choice for you. In 17th-century, French, a poet and swordsman, Cyrano, who has a huge funny nose, falls in love with a very beautiful lady Roxanne. However he is worried about she will never love him back because of his special looking. At the same time, a handsome man whose…

one the best, so I focused on that song more but many of the songs are similar in there beat. This concert had four instruments all of which were string instruments which allowed for the song to flow better with each instrument. I love the sound of violin and viola together, while the cello and guitar are strumming at a lower beat than them. Overall this concert was amazing I could see and hear so much beauty through the entire performance. The final song that was played is called one love,…

as Burke did, in the dichotomy between the sublime and the beautiful, then one might well be inclined to automatically declare the free fantasia as sublime and be done with it. This fantasia, as well as its counterpart arranged to include a solo violin part, were never formally published…

The Baroque Period has become known as one of the richest and most diverse periods in music history and lasted from about 1600 to 1750 AD. This period followed the Renaissance period and, at the beginning of the Baroque Period, it was marked by the development of what some musicians call the “second practice,” as differentiated from the “first practice” of the Renaissance (Hast, Dorothea E., et al. 271). European culture began to increase the importance of human feeling in the arts. According to…
