On 1st September‚ 1725‚ I attended a performance of “The Four Seasons”‚ a concerto by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi at the Pieta. The composer‚ often known locally as the “Red priest” (Heller‚ 1997) for his ostensibly red hair and ordainment‚ wrote the piece in 1723 in Mantua; Italy’s music sure seems to be increasing in its grandeur. However‚ I would doubt the sincerity of Vivaldi’s concertos; ever since Corelli these instrumental pieces are pumped out massively for the aristocracy (Michalik

The idea of an overture started in the 17th century or the Baroque era. An overture is defined as an instrumental introduction and usually played before a larger work such as an opera‚ play‚ ballet‚ etc to set the mood for what is coming up in the rest of the performance. Concert overtures started to appear in the early 19th century or the Romantic era. These overtures were inspired by a play or story‚ but they did not necessarily lead up to a larger work.

I must say I was totally conquered by the kid’s calmness and smartness after I finished reading this story. What’s more‚ to my surprise‚ why can the little kid summon all his courage to prevail over the enemy? And where did his courage come from? Why do not some of us today as courageous as him? This made me fall into deep thought

Premium Sonata form Music Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
In my performance of Mozart’s sonata no. 12 movement II‚ I took inspiration from both Fazil Say and Maria Jao Pires’ performances of the piece. Each performance has different but not dissimilar interpretations and there is a sense of historical accuracy as well as innovation in both.

Finally we come to the third movement‚ ‘Rondo: Allegro’. The sonata closes with a 2/2 movement back in the tonic key‚ C minor. The main theme resembles the second theme of the ‘Allegro’ of the first movement. It’s melodic pattern is identical for it’s first four notes‚ and it’s rhythmic pattern for the first eight notes.
