The performance I chose to view was Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi. This Opera was televised version of Verdi’s Rigoletto. Rigoletto was originally written in 1851. This opera was Italian and premiered on March 11, 1851 at Teatro La Fenice, Venice. This is a very well-known opera house for Italian theatre. The Librettist, or writer of this piece was Francesco Maria Piave. This televised, somewhat modern version of Rigoletto was, for the most part, accurate. The story tells of a daughter […]

The melodic and instructing abilities educated to Ludwig from his dad were exceptionally constrained.

Beethoven, “Moonlight” Sonata in C#m, Movement No. 1 I chose to analyze the first movement of Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata in C#m. Like earlier classical pieces, the “Moonlight” Sonata is structured simply, following clean chord progressions. Works by early classical composers usually contained a clear melody, played over accompanying subordinate chords. In Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata, he uses the notes that make up each chord to construct the melody, while the left hand plays the octaves of one note (typically the root) […]
Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized December, 1770 – March 26, 1827) has lasted as a familiar name due to his role in the transition between the Classical and Romantic musical eras. Alongside the impact his “musical genius” has had on composers of subsequent generations. Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven first developed his musical skills under the guidance of nearby musicians. However, after a time, Beethoven moved to Vienna to study under Haydn, where he (after other travels) eventually died. In Bonn, […]

There is no doubt that Mozart and Beethoven are brilliant, unique, great composers that had an important impact on the music history. Beethoven has a much more fiery personality. Whereas Mozart’s music is clean and precise, Beethoven employs many surprises in his music. Many times, he will build up the music as if it’s leading to something only to suddenly get softhis trademark use of subito piano. This is a common theme to his music and keeps the listener engaged […]
Before I draw attention to the different musical elements that made this masterpiece possible, I would like to provide some context on Ludwig Van Beethoven’s No. 5 Symphony in C Minor. Beethoven was mentored by Mozart and Haydn, this played a crucial role in the structure of this piece. Beethoven began composing his fifth symphony in 1804, and was debuted with his sixth symphony. His fifth symphony was planned to be his first in a minor key. The first four […]
In this piece that was provided by Professor Hopkins, it is a wonderful piece by Beethoven. Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93 is from the classical period, that was composed in 1812. It is said to have been first performed in 1814. I read that in 1812 was when Beethoven was starting to become deaf, and he wanted to commemorate his achievements of being famous by writing as much music as he could. The instruments being used include […]
Felix Mendelssohn was born on February 3, 1809 in Hamburg, Germany and died on November 4, 1847 in Leipzig, Germany. One of his most well-known works is the overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The uniqueness of Ludwig van Beethoven’s work comes from the experiences and sufferings he had to go through. Being abused at an early age to sit on the keyboard and play non-stop, was possibly one of the reasons for him going deaf during his youth. But nonetheless, his love to make music got him through the hardest times in his life. Beethoven’s music is divided into three parts, first period (ending around 1802), middle period (approximately till 1812), and late […]
Beethoven’s 5th Symphony is a piece with lots of elements with numerous movements. I have to say my first emotion was a deep shock of anxiety and fantasies. I realized after listening over and over and over again that the intro note is what was played in almost all the piece but in different movement or variation. The opening da-da-da-dum was quite fascinating and just made my adrenaline rush like alas!!! I am stunned by that sound and just suddenly, […]
As a result of the structural changes made, Beethoven was able to better project the type of emotion that he had intended to while composing. Gordon goes on to explain that the overall effect that is ultimately produced by these slow, repetitious triplets is an emotional one: One mood is thus sustained and unbroken throughout the movement, thereby establishing a serene but intense emotionalism. 24 Op. 27, no. 2 provides evidence suggesting the possible beginnings of Beethoven’s attempt to clearly […]

After this historic event, Beethoven changed the title, and despite Napoleon’s influence on […]

When it came time to decide on whom to choose for my concert review it made the most sense to choose someone that has shaped classical music into what it is now.

Contrasting the characteristics of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, reveals how history repeats itself while advancing in specific areas. History played a role in how Renaissance music was composed and performed. The Renaissance era spanned the years 1450 to […]
Beethoven’s fifth symphony is one of the best compositions of classical music and one of the most played symphonies (Schauffler, 1933). It was composed between 1804 and 1808 and first performed in 1808 at a concert in Vienna’s Theatre. At the concert, since it was performed late many people did not really get the music therefore its reception was not as expected. It was after E.T.A. Hoffman, wrote an interesting review of fifth symphony that the public started appreciating it. […]
