lyrical love theme representing the Romeo and Juliet. Like in a traditional sonata-allegro form‚ all the themes are developed and recapitulated. Juxtaposition and the orchestration help build tension making the Themes A and B more climactic. Tchaikovsky juxtaposes different choirs in the orchestra by using imitation and an echo effect. Also‚ he uses different orchestrations of the main themes to add to the climax of the piece when the themes are recapitulated. Imitation is used to build up to

My Experience with the ISU Orchestra Concert 3: Tchaikovsky On the 28th April 2011 I participated with the Iowa state orchestra on the last performance for the year. The orchestra included works by Tchaikovsky. The orchestra performed the 5th Symphony in E minor. This piece is in sonata form‚ which has a theme that is heard throughout the piece.

Although all of the texts that we have read in class are of equal importance‚ I have chosen to compare “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” by Leo Tolstoy‚ “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe‚ and “From Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman. All works have to do with the sense of self and coming to terms with the world around them. To begin‚ “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” is about a man who lived a life based on the world around him and what was expected of him‚ he was not living for himself. Ilyich’s life was an

School. I especially liked the symphony orchestra pieces. They seemed to tell a story was the people played the music pieces. These pieces were soothing and beautiful. My favorite two pieces in this concert was “Sleeping Beauty Waltz”‚ by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky‚ and “Elegy to the Blind”. “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” was especially sweet. It was almost like a lullaby. The piece was fast and strong at times and at other times soft and sweet. I especially liked the climax of this piece. It had contained
