End-of-Semester Program Notes I. Allegro from Sonata in G minor for flute and harpsichord Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) BWV 1020 The Sonata in G minor‚ BWV 1020‚ is traditionally attributed to Bach‚ but it is almost certainly not a work by J.S. Bach; it may‚ however‚ have been composed by his son C.P.E. Bach. The originally intended ensemble seems to be flute and harpsichord‚ but the work is commonly performed on both flute and violin. Anyways‚ this is an elegant piece of lateBaroque chamber

accomplished musician‚ flute maker and composer. He was an apprentice under his uncle Justus Quantz. Quantz studied many string and wind instruments‚ primarily oboe‚ and took harpsichord lessons from a very early age. He joined the Dresden town band in 1716‚ and studied counterpoint in Vienna. Finding little opportunity for advancement as an oboist‚ he began flute‚ studying for four months with P. G. Buffardin. Quantz travelled to Italy in 1724 to study counterpoint and flute. Later‚ he journeyed

11 Music 2 Musicology Essay | | Smetana’s Moldau is a musical portrayal of the main river which runs through the countryside of Bohemia (present day Czech Republic). The piece begins with a sweet one bar theme that is played by two solo flutes‚ representing the trickle of a small creek. The soft melody played in piano and “lusingando”‚ which means to be played in a coaxing style‚ convey the delicate and smoothness of the water. The ascending semi-quavers accompanied with a slight crescendo

Peter Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture is a symphonic poem that accurately follows one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays. The piece was written in six weeks and premiered in 1870. It contains three themes and generally follows a traditional sonata-allegro form. The first theme is church-like with its homophonic nature and represents Friar Lawrence in the play. The second theme‚ Theme A‚ is very rhythmic with a melody that at times is dissonant to its harmony and represents the feud

The Science of Musical Instruments - Grade 10 teaching and learning project Music is an artform‚ but there's a lot of science in there too. Whether your instrument is your voice‚ a flute‚ a marimba‚ a recorder‚ a violin or a piano‚ sound is a form of energy and to make sound requires a change from one form of energy - usually kinetic (motion energy) - into sound energy. So whatever your instrument there's a scientific explanation to how it works. The art of music is how well you put that

Graphs 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4 show the waveforms for the flute‚ violin‚ piano‚ and oboe. The Fourier Series can be used to explain why each of the instruments have their own unique sound. The flute‚ violin‚ piano and oboe have different combinations of frequencies as each waveform is made of an unique combination of sine and cosine waves‚ and this creates distinct waveforms and allows each instrument to have a unique sound. Recall that the formula of the Fourier Series is f(x)=a_0+∑_(k=1)^∞▒(a_k cos〖πkx/T〗+b_k
