I would describe the texture of this piece to be homophonic because the rhythm flows with the melody. I love the story part of the concert, it gives the audience a reason to listen even more carefully to the instruments being used. For example, when there is a calm lento feeling with the string instruments, a person would get a welcoming feeling. However, when you hear the drums or French horns being played, a person gets an uneasy feeling. This diverse use of instruments is what makes the concert that much more enjoyable to listen to. Sergei almost intentionally plays low pianissimo sounds for the audience for a small amount of time, then the musicians play mezzo beats. He intentionally does this to keep the audience involved in the concert and to keep them focused on the music. I loved how the different instruments can all play by themselves and make a beautiful sound. However, the true beauty comes when all the different instruments flow together to make a unified sound. The symphony orchestra that Sergei composed is a wonderful example of how to teach a younger generation about how a group of diverse instruments can make a variety of sounds and tempos. Even though the story/concert is considered for children, it is still a good base for people to learn about how instruments can tell a story. In conclusion, one could learn a vast majority of things
