Banging the piano as fast as I could was how I began my music journey as an eight-year-old‚ and just eight years later‚ I found myself preparing for a recital to receive my Diploma in Music Performance from the Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music. The pressure of playing the most technical pieces at blistering tempos‚ with the inherent risk of a single wrong note ruining the performance‚ gave me joy like no other. Not knowing whether or not a mistake is imminent‚ my hours of practice would

Words in a song vary from happy to sad to angry and so can an orchestral piece. One of my favorite pieces is Piano Concerto no.2 by Rachmaninoff as it contains different emotions and connections throughout the piece.

In B flat major and the third of the set Mozart composed‚ the Piano Sonata (K. 281) opens with an Allegro in sonata form. Almost immediately after the restatement of the four-measure theme begins‚ Mozart moves away from the tonic toward the dominant‚ F major. An insistent repeated-note figure is the main feature of the secondary theme‚ which quickly gives way to a trilled closing motive. After a harmonically daring development section we hear one of Mozart’s most predictable recapitulations‚ tracing

One literary technique that authors often employ is to use a character who is a “visitor” to provide insight into a society’s culture.

Instead of seeing a society that is better because of its reliance on machines‚ the Shah instead observes that the people of Ilium have become slaves to their machines instead. Instead of observing a society that worships a religious God and looks to him for inspiration

My teacher was Ms. Crossman; we had a lesson every week. One day‚ sometime after my fifth birthday‚ she told me that when you take piano lessons‚ you have to play at a piano recital.

The passing of time in a person’s life is filled with many different stages. The poem "Piano" by D.H. Lawrence is a complicated example of how a poet might think. The speaker in "Piano" is proud to be a full grown man‚ yet he loves remembering his happy childhood; his nostalgic attitude causes him to feel guilty as if he had betrayed his present state of being. Through effective imagery‚ Lawrence is able (to describe an image) to help the reader understand the speaker’s nostalgic attitude. The diction
