What Is Chopin's Legacy
Chopin's exact and delicate style of playing, along with his ability to improvise, are characteristics of his music that contributed to his legacy.
I know this because in the article it says, "His ability to improvise...inspired awe in those who heard him ... Chopin was also known for his precise and delicate playing."

    Pyotr Llyich Tchaikosvsky: Music Analysis

    I greatly admire his music because of how different he was. He beautifly used different instruments in all his works. He didn't just stick to one style, some of his music could be cheerful, and some could be a little darker. I love how the Nutcracker combined his music with a ballet. I especially admire the time and effort it must have took to make such a piece.…

    Last Report on the Miracles of Little No Horse

    The focal character in this novel had many different characters throughout this touching narrative. Though the main focus was on the priest, Father Damien Modeste, he began and was actually a woman. Beginning as a young girl, Agnes Vogel née DeWitt, was also known as former Sister Cecilia of a convent in Wisconsin, widow of Berndt Vogel and lover of the piano and, more specifically, the Polish music composer, Chopin. I am going to focus on her particular love of music, piano playing and her interest in Chopin which seemed to have caused many therapeutic effects on her. Being a pianist myself, I was compelled to ask the question throughout the book, how can music have such an impact and truly influence the consciousness and perception of a person like we see in DeWitt's life story? I would like to conclude by paralleling this to my own experience using this instrument.…

    How Were Slaves Treated In The 1800's

    During the 1800’s, one of America’s biggest issues was slavery. Most people didn’t have a problem with it and agreed with it, but there was also groups called abolitionists, that greatly disliked slavery and devoted their lives to try to put an end to it. Slaves were denied basic human rights that people take for granted everyday, and were treated unfairly. Rights that I believe everyone should be able to have were denied to slaves. Some of these rights include: the ability to have a legal marriage, own property, eat the fruit from the crops they were raising, and they didn’t have much of a say in whether or not their family would stay together or not.…

    Sergei Rachmaninoff

    Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff was born April 1st, 1873 in Semyonovo, Russia and can be classified as a Russian-American composer, pianist and conductor. While his reputation as a composer only came later in life, Rachmaninoff 's skill as pianist was well-known and highly respected. He was one of the greatest pianists of his generation, having legendary technical facilities and rhythmic drive, and his large hands were able to cover a thirteenth interval on the piano (a distance requiring a hand span of approximately twelve inches) (Wikipedia, 2006). Like most artists, Rachmaninoff endured periods of extreme mental depression and also had to suffer the strain of leaving his own native country in which he emigrated to American at the height of his fame, due to the Russian Revolution of 1917. His life was one of comparative stability in the history of Russian and American music. In him, there were none of the emotional complexities of Tchaikovsky or Scriabin, yet there were contradictions of his personality. Audiences, who observed him for the first time, were amazed to see that such a cool outward appearance could conceal the warmth of feeling of his piano playing. It was only in his music, both as a pianist and composer, that he was able to release his inner emotions (Norris, 1976). It is with this inner passion, that Rachmaninoff was able to create an abundant amount of imaginative and innovative music.…
