Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from “West Side Story”, Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” and Nielson’s “Symphony No. 5” all utilize different symphonic techniques to create 3 beautiful pieces.…
Yes; the acceleration is zero when the velocity is at its maximum, that is, at the equilibrium position. Since the force and hence the acceleration always act TOWARDS the equilibrium position (because it's a restorative force), then the force and acceleration must change their sign as the mass crosses the e.p., and therefore must be zero instantaneously at the e.p.…
The decisions made in McCulloch v. Maryland recognized and explained to the United States the nation’s need for a strong central government. After fighting in the War of 1812, the United States of America experienced a significant amount of disarray and difficulty without a bank to supervise the country’s finances and to provide a reliable institution that the population could depend on amidst all the chaos. Alexander Hamilton’s idea of a national bank would serve the purpose of providing one common institution that could help the entire country through its difficult times, but first the federal government needed to exercise supreme power over the state governments in order to ever possibly complete that task. While the federal government and…

The second piece I am going to discuss is the Symphony No.2 in D Minor, Op. 36 composed by Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827). It was in the Classical period, and the genre of it is Symphony because of it had four movements. The first movement is in the Adagio molto form, the second movement is in the Larghetto form, the third movement is in the Scherzo: Allegro form which breaks the rule of most of symphonies, and the fourth movement is in the Allegro molto form. The length of the work is about thirty-five minutes and…
The slow movement from Haydn's 'Emperor' Quartet is said to be one of Haydn's greatest works. He uses a simple yet classic melody throughout his piece that is the underlying feature of this movement. The melody is in the form AABCC but the movement itself is in the style of theme and variations. The music in the movement is played sweetly (dolce) and is in cut time.…
Symphony No. 9 is one of my favorites within the genre of classical music. The orchestra did a wonderful job with this piece. I love how they used a mixture of different parts of the orchestra throughout the entire symphony and how it only continued to get better from the start. The piece was very romantic and had a lovely classical tune to it which made the piece easy to listen to. I normally would listen to songs like this has when I’m running or studying as classical music helps relaxes me. The piece, which sounds a little similar to Beethoven’s Symphony, was very upbeat and was never over powering through the entire four movements. The dynamics was to my knowledge Mezzo-Forte that provide a nice rich texture to the song.…

9 No.1 in G Major by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) who was one of the most famous composers in music history. This piece was composed in 1798-1799 and published in 1799 in Vienna, consisting of four movements: Adagio – Allegro con brio, Adagio ma non tanto and cantabile, Scherzo: Allegro, and Presto. This piece started with an Adagio movement in order to build tension and call to attention, followed by Allegro con brio. The first movement was described in a sonata form, consisting of three main sections: the exposition, the development, and the recapitulation. The tempo became rapid as the first movement reached its ends. After the first movement, there was a pause so that I could recognize that the first movement ended. The second movement, Adagio ma non tanto and cantabile, started softly with lyrical violin performance. The second movement was mainly led by the violin with a beautiful melody in support of the viola and cello. The pace and mood did not change a lot during the second movement. Therefore, I was not interested in this movement, since there was no high pitch sounds and no climax. The mood in the second movement was changed in the third movement. Like many of Beethoven’s compositions, the third movement in this piece was a Scherzo which generates energy and rhythmic drive (Kamien). When the last movement was started, I was awestruck by the techniques of the performers. As presto means, the tempo was very fast, but the…

In 2008, a BYU professor decided to talk about welfare to a class of his students. He first asked the students if they agreed on welfare. Many agreed on it, so the professor decided to try an experiment. This experiment would change many of the students' perspective on welfare. He first said that a quiz would be given the following week. When the day came, he handed out the test, and said that the test would be graded a little differently. The students, who studied, did well on it, and the students who didn't study did poorly. However, the professor figured out the class average, and gave all the students the average. The class average was a B minus. The students who did poorly on the test were very happy; however the students who did well on the test were very angry. The professor told the students that this was an example of welfare. He asked if this was fair. Was it or not? It was not fair. That professor was trying to teach the students something about the welfare system. Illegal immigrants are usually like homeless people, and don’t like to work. They usually just get on the welfare system, and literally make us work and support them.…
Mozart?s Piano Sonata No. 2 (K.280) Mvt. I is a rarity in that it follows almost every rule of sonata-allegro form to a ?T.? I consider this a most striking find, since there really wasn?t anything called sonata-allegro form in the classical era. It just happened to be that music was very set in ratio now that we look back on it. Mozart wrote this piece in 1775 when he was just 19 years old, and it was his second piano sonata (as the title suggests).…
Effective and efficient leadership and management lead to effective and efficient operations, conversely ineffective or “toxic” leadership and management will lead to degraded unit effectiveness and efficiency. Leadership and management are skills that are interwoven together and like many other skills they can be improved through experience, time, and practice. According to ADP 6-22 (2012) “An Army leader is anyone who by virtue of assumed role or assigned responsibility inspires and influences people to accomplish organizational goals. Army leaders motivate people both inside and outside the chain of command to pursue actions, focus thinking and shape decisions for the greater good of the organization” (ADP 6-22, p. 1). Through my many…
While this form has a formula or approach to it. It is rather rigid and leaves itself to be very open. It uses a 3 part binary form that has an Exposition, Development and Recapitulation. Many composers have developed and expanded this style of music composition. Mozart being the subject of this paper is also one of the composer known for his strong and clear understanding of Sonata form in his music. This paper will examine one of his piano sonatas entitled, Piano Sonata K. 281 in Bb Major.…
