BEETHOVEN CONCERTS The “Pastorale” Symphony and the “Emperor” Piano Concerto‚ one named by Ludwig van Beethoven and the other by a friend‚ are splendid examples of Beethoven’s musical acumen. These pieces are more formally known as Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 and Piano Concerto No. 5. This concert report will cover both pieces and will contain my impressions of each piece. Symphony No. 6 “Pastorale” was performed by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen‚ and was conducted by Paavo Jarvi

When I saw the violin for the first time‚ I knew I would play that instrument. I went to a show with my parents when I was a young girl- about four or five years old. The majority of the performance was the string orchestra. When I noticed the violins‚ they were mesmerizing. In my eyes‚ the violin was a beautiful and graceful instrument. The unique shape and color was the greatest part. It was then that I decided that I wanted to play an instrument. The first time I tried the violin was in third grade

While listening to a radio station dedicated to classical music‚ my grandpa heard about a concert starring Kirk Muspratt and the New Philharmonic orchestra. He had been a long-time supporter and contributor to the orchestra and loved the conductor‚ so he wanted me to share his experiences as well. The New Philharmonic really is not the newest orchestra; it was founded 40 years ago with only 29 musicians who practiced in worn-down buildings. Originally founded to be a chamber group‚ the NP eventually

Armstrong’s famous reply was "if you had to ask‚ you’ll never know". Whatever else he meant‚ he was at least saying that jazz is noticeable‚ but not necessarily understandable by words. (do not really know exact cite where I have got this quote) For my concert review‚ I went to see the performance of Maynard Ferguson and his big band at Jazz Alley on Jan. 12th 2005. I asked some of my friends to join and they gladly agreed. Since two of my friends were a musician themselves and loved seeing live music

The memoir‚ Mississippi Solo‚ written by Eddy Harris reveals many things about his character. From what I read from the text I can tell Eddy appreciates life. On page 137 lines 1-2 It states‚ “Too many marvelous days in a row and you begin to get used to it‚ to think that’s the way it’s supposed to be”‚ “ Too many good days‚ too many bad days- you need some break of monotony of one to appreciate the other.” For this reason‚ this quote signifies that Eddy appreciates the good and bad things in life

The Adventures of Roald Dahl The autobiography‚ “Going Solo‚” by Roald Dahl is about the adventures he faced throughout his journey as a World War II pilot. Throughout the novel‚ Dahl exhibits the ability to draw readers in and make them want to read more. His techniques and excellent storytelling skills helped develop this novel into an amazing read. As W. Somerset Maugham once said‚ “There are three rules to writing a good book. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.” This being said‚ one

listen to some great historical Classical pieces. Although the time of the concert was a little late and I was almost out of energy to fully appreciate the performance‚ I got the best out of this magnificent performance. The concert as I like to name was the continuation from last weekend concert. Both concert were called "El Paso’s Summer Music Festival which took place at UTEP’s Fox Fine Arts Recital Hall. This concert although it had a small size of audience‚ it had a great ambience to fully enjoy

went to the concert on Monday November 19th‚ 2012 titled “An Evening of Art Song and Opera”. The concert overall I felt was put together well and the singers Lori Hultgren‚ and Kyle Engler did a very good job singing each opera song. The pianist Daniel Lau was very eccentric and moved with with the music very well making it fun to watch as he played each song. The concert lasted a little over an hour as it had played more than 13 different opera songs. The first half of the concert had songs that

Dance Concert Critique When I thought of dance for the first time‚ I believed it was just simplistic movement and structured choreography. However‚ dance can be interpreted as a story versus just following a beat through its unique body language‚ musical composition‚ and set of props. The Fall Dance Theatre demonstrates these traits extensively within its performances specifically the pieces “In Sleep‚ We Dream” and “I’m Still with You”. The performance “In Sleep‚ We Dream” has two different

The Gallery I did my review on was at Illinois Central College in room 336B. The show was called “Three Graces Under Pressure” by Patrica McWilliams‚ Sherri Denault‚ and Margie Glass Sula. The artwork together felt very calming‚ peaceful‚ and abstract. There is wood artwork that has some kind of carving. The artistists call this artwork “Tinted Graphite on Wood Panel”. There is also some type of white clay sculptures sitting on a tree branch or either on a pedestal. Another part of the artwork is
