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.

I took choir for another 5 years after that and it was there that I learned two things. I learned how to play the piano which I now realize has helped me learn memorization skills and coordination.

Musical evening No‚ I haven’t been to a musical (lately). But Friday "my" choir and I had an appointment with‚ well‚ the rest of the population here‚ really.
