Comparison of two mediums
THE MUSIC IN OUR LIVES
My two mediums that I’m comparing are the Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach and Fort St. Elmo. The Well-Tempered Clavier was done in 1722 in Germany and was developed to teach the youth how to play. The Fort St. Elmo is a Maltese fort that was built in 1522. It stands on the ocean side of the Sciberras Peninsula in Valetta, Malta. The reason that I have chosen to compare these two are because I find a lot of interesting differences and similarities between them. Through this I hope I am able to share my viewpoint with you. The Clavier is any stringed keyboard musical instrument in Germany from the late 17th century. This also includes the harpsichord, a clavichord and later the piano. J.S. Bach wrote “The Well-Tempered Clavier” and it is a set of 24 preludes and fugues that runs for about 3 hours and 30 minutes if you listen to all of them from start to finish. It starts off rather quietly and peacefully, which is great for someone that likes to fall asleep to classical music, but the fugues crescendo into faster tempo that makes you want to get up and dance. The preludes are usually retarded to give the player a type of break between the fugues. The music would be considered primitive by today’s standards, but if it is done right it is a beautiful piece that would keep someone entertained and amazed by the skill and finesse by which they play it. I found a YouTube video that has the notes and as they pass through the line the notes are played. It makes it wonderful and amazing to think of playing something like this. This was to help the youth learn how to play music, but with the way that this is, it looks like it would be too advanced for someone like that.
Fort St. Elmo is located in the Grand harbor and Marsamxett harbor of Valletta, Malta and was built by the Aragonese in 1488 and after the Turkish razzia in 1551 it was fortified. . In 1565 the Ottoman
