Haydn Symphony No. 44 This beautiful and melancholy symphony was written by Joseph Haydn in 1771 for the Esterhazy Family in Germany. It is also known as “Trauer‚” meaning “sad”‚ “mourning” or sorrowful and is written in Eb minor. Haydn rarely wrote his symphonies in minor keys. The symphony got its nickname supposedly from a story that Haydn wanted one of the movements‚ the slow movement‚ to be played at his funeral. His request was not met. The dramatic‚ expressive and different

Mozart?s Piano Sonata No. 2 (K.280) Mvt. I is a rarity in that it follows almost every rule of sonata-allegro form to a ?T.? I consider this a most striking find‚ since there really wasn?t anything called sonata-allegro form in the classical era. It just happened to be that music was very set in ratio now that we look back on it. Mozart wrote this piece in 1775 when he was just 19 years old‚ and it was his second piano sonata (as the title suggests). The exposition starts out in F Major with a small

Beethoven’s fifth symphony in many battles meant victory. This piece has a four-note motive. Beethoven was a stature for human freedom. In the video it says “only good guys would use this symphony in battle.” In this particular piece Beethoven looks to show emotion. All of his symphonies are very emotional. Beethoven lost his hearing and tried to commit suicide. This symphony represented Beethoven wrestling with his darkest thoughts. The beginning of Beethoven’s fifth symphony reminds me of Halloween

Handel‚ Mozart and Chopin are three classical composers from three different periods – baroque‚ classical and romantic. Their works all contain the basic elements of music; structure‚ texture‚ melody and harmony. However the ways these things come across are unique to each composer and era‚ as well as having quite a few similarities. Handel’s Messiah is an oratorio in the form of an Italian opera‚ with recitatives‚ arias and choruses. He gave great importance to the choruses‚ of which ’And the

Anthony Taylor Chapter 27 Review 1: Russian society between 1815 and 1860 was full of reforms and a shifting government‚ all which led up to Alexander II who was responsible for many reforms. 2: The peasant problem in Russia was when Russia needed people to work in factories so they abolished serfdom and put people to work. 3: They emancipated their serfs so they had workers to work in factories so they could industrialize.

Dear Mr. Arrayan Last weekend my Fine Arts class attended the Oregon Symphony’s presentation of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The piece was monumental and included a tribute to the recently departed conductor James DePreist. The symphony played one of his favorites‚ “Adagietto” from Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony‚ and Benjamin Britten’s “Ballad of Heroes”. The piece from Gustav Mahler was very dynamic and only included a timbre of string instruments that were well blended. The piece included very
