Musical Analysis The first piece I chose was Frédéric Chopin’s Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4). It was performed by Aldona Dvarionaite (2009). Chopin was a composer in the Romantic period.

the Great Depression is completely the opposite of its reality‚ which is of a Native American woman surviving life in times of the American settlement. Because people become accustomed with their single view point‚ they fail to see the other side of the story and reveal what is behind the curtain.
