On Friday 7th March 2010, at 8 pm, organized a big concert to celebrate the 200 anniversary of the birth of Frederic Chopin. This invitation was open to all students of the college, which had the opportunity to hear two concerts for piano, of the great Polish composer. The concert brings together two music teachers of the College: soloist and piano: Ms. Tatiana Papageorgiou and Mr. Dimitris Toufexis, piano and conducting and as well as the orchestra of Deree. The concert took place in the theater of Pierce.
When I arrived at the theater and found the place had to sit, I took a look at the stage. The musicians, however, had not yet risen to the stage. A few minutes later began to enter the first musicians to take sides on stage. Thus, the stage slowly stuffing and everything was ready to begin the concert. Onto the stage was about twenty-five musicians with many different musical instruments. Some of the players rehearsing and others tune their instruments.
At 8 pm, the show started and so all the audience we are happy to hear the first concert. This was a very potential and simultaneously romantic song, with many music rotations. After a relatively long time, the first concert is over. After this, it was time for the second concert, where it was also a romantic and a very beautiful piece. As I remember the second part was much lively than the first one.
The first concert was a project that Chopin had composed in 1833. The piece is divided into three movements and all together it takes about 40 minutes. As mentioned above the style of this piece is romantic, so lets the listener in a pleasant atmosphere and passes a happy feeling. The instruments participating in this piece are as follows: orchestra - 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, tuba, timpani, strings and solo – piano. The three movements that contains is: 1) Allegro maestoso, 2) Romance – Larghetto, 3) Rondo – Vivace. In the first movement, the exposition

    The first movement of the composition begins with a solo from only the strings family. A soft, consistent melody is played and the violin dominates the other instruments in this piece. The tone color at the beginning of this piece is relatively light which symbolizes the characteristics of a nuturing mother. As expected from a classical piece, the dynamics of the piece suddenly change, and there is a slight crescendo in the piece during the following measures of the composition. The tempo of the composition grows quicker in pace which portrays another chapter in the story, signalizng another movement of the piece. A violinist them performs a solo that plays alot that is also quick, yet play alot on the concept of pitch. It can be heard that the violin goes from very low ranges to fairly high range in pitch to emphasize the great amount of emotion in the piece.…

    A full audience bustles into Mallory Hall on a rainy December afternoon with anticipation for the thrilling sounds of Nicholas Pappone (violin), Grace Mei-En Ho (cello), and Candace Chien (piano); all of whom are seasoned veterans of The Mallory Concert Series at Rutgers University: Camden. The expectation is obvious with the lack of seats available that the concert will be captivating. As the air turns to a silent empty hum, we are ready.…

    The first piece I am going to discuss is the overture to King Stephen, Op. 117. It was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827), one of the greatest German composer in the Western musical tradition. The genre of this composition is overture that is the instrumental introduction to the work King Stephen. The whole work has ten movements which are typical of the Classical style and the genre is oratorio. This overture movement is duple meter, and it is in the andante con moto form. In my opinion, this overture is a program music that shows the scene when the first king of Hungary enthroned and it also draw a picture of the beautiful scenery of Hungary. The overturn begins with a stirring call to attention, then develops and recapitulates two different themes, both with a folksy Hungarian character. The length of this overturn is about eight minutes and played by two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings.…

    Name of the first song was “Be my love”. They started a song with very bright tone and middle fast tempo. This song created very lively feeling and gave audiences little bit information about what kind of music they were going to perform during the concert. This song was great opener because this song made audiences get involved in the concert such as clapping their hands and tapping with their feet to feel the rhythm and tempo.…

    The first movement in this piece opened with a solo piano. The pianist played chords in a key which I am unfamiliar and then came to rest on a dominant chord. There was a pause for what seemed to be two or three beats and then the orchestra entered in what I made out to be B major. A theme is played by the orchestra in the continuing B major and then drops in pitch to another key, which I was unable to make out which one. Once again the theme is played, followed by a strong cadence. The music seems to fade into one bar. After some kind of accompaniment, the music changes to minor, and sounds pianissimo. There is a rise in the bass and more harmonies. There is a rise in the bass and more harmonies. A final cadence is heard, and then the beginning bars are heard again for closing.…

    The first day that I decided to listen to the full piece was November 9nth, at 8:03pm. In my listening diary I wrote that I liked the rapid flow the piece had in the beginning. Although this rapid or allegro pace is expected in a concerto because of its arrangement of three movements that illustrate the order of fast-slow-fast, it was amusing to listen to it played on the piano. I also noticed that the piece had the occasional hint of melancholy but was lost with the return of the more luminous theme that the movement originally began. I also admire this piece because it reminds me of a couple of my favorite movies. The two that I can think of are Man on Fire, and Cinderella Man. The reason that these particular movies come to…

    The distance between the notes was mainly medium but sometimes, we could discern a narrow distance between the notes. The change of range happened periodically and made the movement understandable. In addition, the shape of the music went up and down and during a certain period of time, that was the opposite. The movement of this performance had two essential parts. The first section was a little confusing because it seemed like every instruments were playing at the same time. Second, it…

    The first song I heard is Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is written at 1880, a romantic period music. It is a sonata allegro form, which consist an exposition, a development, and a recapitulation. However, it is hard for me to find connection between three parts when I was at the concert. Moreover, I did not realize there is three parts until I did the research after the concert. I was really into music and picturing the Romeo and Julia scene in my mind when I heard the symphony playing this piece.…

    The entire theatre complex was abuzz with the voices of a hundred excited ponies, as Cheerilee peeked out carefully from behind the curtains hiding the stage. She saw rows upon rows of ponies sitting in the stands or moving between them, talking to each other as they waited or tried to make one last trip to get some food and beverages before the show. She glanced quickly to the left, and saw that the musicians had already set up in the orchestra pits in front of the stage. They’d only be needed for a few scenes, but Cheerilee was still glad to have them.…
