    Anton Dvorak Annotated Bibliography

    Due to this, the Americans anticipated Dvorak to help “pave the way” for an “American” musical style. Taking this change to heart, this initiated Dvorak’s “American” phase, which created his Ninth Symphony "From the New World," the String Quartet #12, the cantata The American Flag, and the String Quintet in Eb. His first performance was the premiere of Te Deum, produced in Carnegie Hall. Homesickness in Dvorak’s soul, however, collided with financial advantage and high artistic purpose. Taking summer vacations to the Czech-speaking community of Spill Ville, Iowa, helped a little, but his desire to return to Prague grew. Wishing to return home, Dvorak wrote almost as many works celebrating his native country as those that hymned the New World: for example, the Te Deum and the cello concerto; one of the best for the instrument. In addition to, Dvorak became more and more interested in streamlining classical forms. He had entered a so-called second nationalist phase during the 1880’s, in which Czech folk elements are fully absorbed and put into use of Dvorak’s formal experiments. As stated on www.classical.net, “The image of Dvořák as some spontaneously musical "holy fool" doesn't hold up in the presence of scores full of formal sophistication. The cello concerto, for example, provides a heroic part for the cellist without burying him in the orchestral…

    Hector Berlioz Research Paper

    Berlioz was known for his use of large orchestras, often made up of more than 1000 performers. The use of giant orchestras is a development of the romantic period. Leonard Bernstein describes the symphony as “”the first musical expedition into psychedelic because of its hallucinatory and dream-like nature”; this is very unique to a piece composed of this period. Berlioz composed music that represented his lively imagination. Freedom of form and design was also a key aspect of the romantic period and Berlioz’s symphony portrays this well. Lastly, during his five movements there is a large range of dramatic contrasts of dynamics and pitch, especially during his first movement. A dramatic contrast is also a characteristic well known during this…

    Ludwig Van Beethoven's Third Symphony: The Middle Period

    It was composed in the year of 1804, but due to having several other projects he had to postpone his writing. It wasn’t until about 1808 that he premiered the song along with symphony Number Sixth in which he dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz and Count Andreas Rasumovsky. The tempo of this specific song is allegro and involves four movements. The first movement of the song has a dramatic yet potent feeling to it. It made me imagine something terrible was about to happen to someone leaving me in suspense of what was about to come. When Beethoven wrote this song he had strong feeling which defiantly showed in the first movement of this…
