Symphony No. 7 in A Major (Op. 92)‚ completed in 1812‚ might have been one of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s most popular pieces. The seventh of Beethoven’s nine symphonies‚ its premiere concert (December 1813 in Vienna) was performed at a charity concert in order to benefit the soldiers who had been wounded a few months prior in the battle of Hanau. It was performed three times in ten weeks following its premiere. During the time of the symphony’s premiere‚ Vienna was still distressed due to being taken

Symphony Analysis Bars 1-16 In this essay I will be writing about the opening first 16 bars of the Mozart Symphony Jupiter (K551)‚ starting off in C major‚ common time. [1] The opening bar introduces the first Antecedent idea‚ consisting of an octave C in all instruments. This is then followed by ascending semiquaver triplet runs‚ in the strings and woodwind‚ from G to C which have a decoration-like affect.

As the piece progresses you can hear horns‚ violas‚ and cello and a very long crescendo occurs.

Symphony No. 94 in G “surprise” The music piece that I listened to was Symphony No. 94 in G “Surprise” by Joseph Hayden. This classical piece of music takes place in the classical period and starts off with a very slow tempo. The rhythm is a contagious pulsating rhythm which appears to have a metered beat that one can follow. It sounds like it would be 2 beats which is in duple meter. The main melody seems very short‚ defined and to the point. It is definitely staccato which seems short and

Discuss Berlioz’s contribution to the symphony Berlioz is often overlooked as an influential composer; however the reality is that he was one of the most important due to his developing ideas of how orchestration could be expanded‚ how symphonic form could be developed and how music would be written in a programmatic style.

Beethoven’s 5th Symphony I discovered that he starts with a four-note motive (short-short-short-long) which becomes the driving force for the entire symphony. He continues to modulate the motive in new and exciting ways with each new movement. Sometimes it is forcefully stated in its "original" (or first) form like the 1st movement or very subtly within a running melody as in the 2nd movement. Now that I have actually listened to and analyzed the musical components of the entire symphony I can sympathize
