Violin

In my opinion, having the ability to play an instrument is universal in the sense that people all over the world have the ability to play the same instrument. A person who speaks strictly Japanese can play a violin just as well as a person who speaks strictly Spanish or English. So, what makes this possible? I believe it must be that music is a language in itself. There are notes that create different sounds and pitches similar to how different words are used…

along with the oboe in softer portions of the movement. change from the orchestra playing together to the flutes and violins leaves me with a feeling of euphoria, longing for the next moment it happens again. The third movement begins much softer compared to the first two. The harmony of the violins and violas are used…

sonatas that he wrote for violin and basso continuo. These works would have been performed by small ensembles consisting of the above mentioned instruments, (At that time.) Sonata no.9 consists of four movements the first of which (Preludio) is in this program. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th movements are substantially faster than the 1st movement which is…

1, Op. 25 by Johannes Brahms. There were only four musicians. The instruments used were: the violin, viola, cello, and piano. There were four movements; Allegro, Intermezzo: Allegro ma non troppo - Trio: Animato, Adante con motto, and Rondo alla Zingarese: Presto. I could not believe how fast the pianist was playing during the fourth movement…

“Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence” -Colin Powell. I will never forget when I was awarded one of the two “Most Outstanding Musician” awards when I was a 7th grader at Neil Armstrong Middle School. It was the second week of school when we first met the string orchestra teacher; no one gave her a schedule. Her curly ginger hair, piercings, and her tattoos made her look kind of “intimidating”, but she was a very fun and…

The four most commonly used instruments in the string family are the violin, the viola, the cello and the double (string) bass. They are all made by gluing pieces of wood together to form a hollow “sound box.” The quality of sound of one of these instruments depends on its shape, the wood it is made from, the thickness of both the top and back, and the varnish that coats its outside surface. The violin is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the string family. It is held under the chin…

136/125a in Allegro. This piece began with the violins providing a very lively tempo. It evoked feelings of happiness and excitement. It was played by a strings orchestra only, which included the cellos. The mood became more dramatic as it progressed. The symphony played in unison producing a harmony of tone colors. I also enjoyed the syncopation of this movement, in which the offbeat notes were beautifully accented. The second movement was andante. The violins began in a loud, soft tempo which…

embarrasse you when you think about it later. Your hands would stretch to touch the human being who possesses you more than yourself. Your mouth would stretch to utter his name so softly yet so intimately that you can 't help but bite your lips. Violin music will play in the background.…

live audience or not, are needed for their ability to play specific instruments for entertainment to those who wish to hear their talent. Performance per instrument appears to be on a need basis. A violin concert master is compensated with a fee of $6,970. Low on the totem pole is of performers is Violin II, who receives a compensation of $1,178. Obviously, the concert master is going to receive more pay than a general violist. However, what does that say about those who are violinists and…

Menzel sang the song in a pop genre but the sub-genre is generally pop orchestral. In the background you can clearly hear the violin players playing over and over which sounds spectacular and the violin sound gives it a magical feeling to the music. Menzel sang the song in a very fast tempo, but it gave it a very exciting feeling because of the pop feeling it gives. The form of the music is the ABAC form, because…
