Module 5

The concerto structure has three movements where as the symphonic structure has four.  The four movement is known as a sonata cycle.  It is pretty standard for any classical approach.

Module 5

During the classical period only the timpani also known known as kettle drums were a common presence in the orchestra. Here is an example of what they look like.

Module 5 Symphonies

I am from Pittsburgh  here is a picture of our very well known Pittsburgh Symphony. I remember my 6th grade field trip we traveled to the city to watch the symphony perform.  They did an amazing job.

Module 4

In this module we learned about the speed of the music.  This makes me think of my piano days when I used a metronome to pace my music.  A metronome marks time at a selected rate by giving a regular tick.  It can go slow, medium, or fast.

Theme of Movement

After learning about themes of movements I feel I would personally rather have the soloist introduce the theme of movement I feel like it is easier to pick out and follow along if the soloist introduces it.

Crystal Glass Music

In chorus in tenth grade we had a performance where some students performed a musical piece on a glass cup with water in it.  This is another example of how random objects can create music. Here is an example of it.
