got to enjoy a concert for the ages: the "Ode to Freedom‚". A composite event‚ covering centuries worth of work by the composers Schiller‚ Beethoven - and Leonard Bernstein. The purpose of the concert was to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall in a way that would be remembered forever.

Not only the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was

Concert Review 3 The concert review I am writing about is An American In Paris. An American In Paris was composed by George Gershwin in 1928. This specific performance that we watched in class was performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.

Concert report 1 The concert I went to was called “Afternoon Chamber Music.” Even thought I left my house early‚ I still managed to arrive 10 minutes late.

There are many similarities between Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C Minor and Mozart’s Symphony no. 40 in G Minor. For example‚ both works have extremely recognizable motives. These works have been played on commercials‚ in advertising‚ and in places most people can’t even pinpoint. One of the main reasons is that these works carry strong motives that reoccur both rhythmically and melodically throughout the pieces. The opening four notes to Beethoven’s work may possibly be the most recognizable

The melodies written for the second and fourth songs in Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen became the basis for themes Mahler later used in his First Symphony‚ composed during his time as the conductor of the Leipzig Opera in Germany. The original piece premiered in Budapest with the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra‚ conducted by Mahler himself‚ and was received very negatively overall.

The Killers I watched The Killers in San Diego‚ California. Event was the Wrex the hall 2012 on December 7th. It was my first rock concert I had been too.

For the majority they are mostly white Americans and they seem to be passionate about the music being played at the time. Not so much dancing but a lot more singing along with Brandon Flowers with some jumping up and

second of the symphony’s four movements‚ the Allegretto‚ became popular and had to be supported. The 7th symphony’s premiere concert was performed to raise funds for injured soldiers in the Hanau battle. It is recorded as one of Beethoven’s most successful concerts. This performance was done by Supanee Sonchaiwanich who played the cello and Usa Napawan at the piano. The concert starts off with Supanee’s gentle and lilting strum of the cello. The two players led the audience to hear the subtle‚ sublime
