Isaiah Bryant Concert Review November 18‚ 2012 “P.D.Q. Bach "The Abduction of Figaro” This is a grand opera that begins off initially with laughter. This appears to be a theme that reoccurs throughout the piece suggesting that it is a comic opera. The mood is serious yet comical throughout. It was really impressive how the composer orchestrated the story into the opera with elements of comedy in the piece. I can see how the opera plays into the minds of those of the middle class

The symphony orchestra consisted of three pieces‚ Last Round‚ Fire and Ice‚ and Serenade for Strings. Every performance was interesting in their own specific manners. It contained pieces that were exciting‚ suspenseful‚ delicate‚ smooth and an assortment of different feelings. In the piece "Last Round" I felt a couple of various sentiments. The principal development of the piece was quick and energetic. Listening to the exciting sounds made me feel as though I was viewing the 1960’s slasher‚ ’Psycho’
