rather than the mask I wear to school everyday. Music is one of those very few things in life that listens and can easily influence mood. Words in a song vary from happy to sad to angry and so can an orchestral piece.

After a harmonically daring development section we hear one of Mozart’s most predictable recapitulations‚ tracing

In fact‚ she “[…] played her way through fear‚ through ugliness […] and lonely afternoons‚ days‚ evenings‚ nights […].”(Wakoski 56) The need to escape reality is something everybody has felt once in their lives‚ even without realizing it.

Piano Sonata No.3 is Dello Joio’s renowned composition for the piano. The neo-classic lyrical theme is derived from the Gregorian “Kyrie” of Mass VIII‚ the Mass of Angels. He also used it in his orchestra piece Variations‚ Chaconne‚ and Finale. Dello Joio adapt this theme into the Sonata in four movements‚ the orchestral piece is in three movements.
