have always been interested in piano. However‚ it has never been terribly easy. I can play piano by memorizing the notes or playing by ear‚ but I always have had problems reading notes. A long time ago‚ when I was about 5 or 6 years old‚ we were in the car when my dad saw a piano on the side of the road with a “free” sign on it. Dad thought my sister and I should have one‚ so he brought a bunch of his friends together and they brought it home. I became excited. The piano sounded way out of tune and

In Dulce Et Decorum Est (Wilfred Owen) and in the Shoe-Horn Sonata (John Misto) the traumatic experience is recreated through the use of symbolism.

Symphony No. 40-Mozart Symphony No. 40 has been selected for this assignment largely for the fact that not a lot of essay papers were written over Mozart‚ along with Symphony No. 40 capturing the sadness of Mozart’s end in life. Even with the hardships Mozart was experiencing he was still able to produce this beautiful symphony. Symphonies that can introduce a more melancholy tone tend to rise to the top of the list for me.
