On Friday April 20th, 2018, I attended a student recital featuring AnnaStasia Yoder and Pilar Athaide-Victor in Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall. AnnaStasia Yoder is a cellist and Pilar Athaide-Victor is a violinist. Together, they played five compositions. Anna Briscoe performed alongside Pilar Athaide-Victor on the piano. The compositions played were from five well known composers and overall the recital was beautifully performed. The first piece played was Suite No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1008. This was composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. There were three movements: Sarabande, Menuets 1&11, and Gigue. The cellist performed this piece wonderfully. The sound was very calming and slow, which is typical of cellos, due to them being a slower instrument. …show more content…

8 in G Major, Op. so, No. 3. which was composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Contrasting from the first composition, this piece is more upbeat and faster. For this piece, both the piano and violin are played. They complement each other throughout most of the piece being that the piano plays a phrase and the violin repeats it. Although, the violin does this in a much higher note. There is a good balance between these two instruments. The cello is played again for the third piece which is called Elegie Op. 24, for Cello and Piano which was composed by Gabriel Faure. Like the second piece, the piano is played throughout the composition. The piano and cello complement each other well in this piece. In the beginning, the tune is melancholy, but intensifies at the end. There was a point where the cello backed off and let the piano overpower the room and vice versa. The fourth piece, Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219, features the violin and piano. It was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and included one movement, Allegro aperzo. In the beginning the violinist played fast, high notes and the piano had a higher time keeping up with the tune. There were multiple times in the piece where the violin and piano played the same notes simultaneously. The composition ends in a violin solo which displays the vast range the violin can do because there were jumps in octaves. This piece was played very well by both

Among his many great compositions, his piece “Chant, Op 12, No. 1 "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" is one that has influenced many individuals. The form of the song starts softly with the low pitches of the piano and then the violin accompanies it. Around two minutes into the song, the pitches of the violin changes to very high pitched for about forty seconds, and then the song goes back to its normal texture until the song ends. The texture of the song is polyphonic. As the violin is the instrument that is the main instrument in this piece, the piano accompanies it with its harmony of low and high pitches.

The sounds can be clearly heard with no instrument outshining any other, apart from the soloist. During the intro, the piano and double bass play simple chords very softly, mostly at mezzo piano level. The soloist’s first instrument, the trumpet, plays at normal level, which gradually increases during the song up to a mezzo forte level, then adds on during the end of its solo become louder with more accented notes. When the soloist instrument increases so does the accompaniment, rising slowly but gradually. During the break the volume of the music, falls back down to mezzo piano.

You can hear the elaborated musical ornamentation throughout the piece and the canon technique of both flutes in a major scale. The sound of this piece sounds jolly and yet adventurous with its steady consonant tempo and trills. This by far was one of the shortest pieces that I heard throughout the evening and yet

The last piece of the performance was Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Opus 54, written by Dmitri Shostakovich. This piece also has three movements, and they are Largo, Allegro, and Presto.

This is then followed by a sing-song like eight-note figure that features a pointed forward momentum. The rhythmic building blocks of the theme is constructed in two bar phrases which then sequences upward by step (Example 1). The accompaniment to the theme is sustained half notes played by the second violins, Violas, and Cellos The home key and the harmonic content of the exposition is also very clear in its presentation. The opening of the movement is in A major and remains primarily diatonic in its harmonic content, with only the occasional passing tone. The primary theme is played twice having a four-bar transition in between each quotation (Example 2).

The same themes and chords cycle in this piece. The chords and continuous chorus do not sound like piano performance. The listeners could be aware of the resonance of the piano. I could notice that the music reaches the end of the work. However, the song could go on moreover, if the composer would keep playing the music.

The stringed instruments were the accompaniment; therefor, they began with harmonics, chromatics, and tremolo for various measures rather than having a moving part. The melody was given to the flutes and soloist, Sami Junnonen, who was also very talented. The song was about 22 minutes long and he had the whole piece memorized. It sounded very sad, but soothing simultaneously. There were visuals around the theater, which made it easier to understand and visualize what Lopez was trying to describe when writing the song.

A B C D C B A. Rhythmically this work has two distinctive features: the regular pulse of the piano and percussion and the rhythm of the human breathing in the vocal and wind parts, and the interaction between them brings about a remarkable effect of wave motion. The vibraphone player in this piece functions as a “conductor” by indicating when the players have to switch from one section to the next, or when the harmony or melody should change within a

Marked Nicht schnell (not fast), the first Romance begins with a piano introduction, setting the somber mood for the melancholy theme in the violin in the key of A minor. Throughout, the violin line has a yearning quality, with moments of euphoric ecstasy in the B section that has the violin soaring above the piano accompaniment. The return of the A section brings back the opening theme, and the searching chromatic figures in the violin bring the piece to a soft, forlorn conclusion.

First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form. The idea of this piece is mainly act as an introductory of a story because this piece is only an excerpt from a bigger orchestral performance. From what I have heard, the solo performance is mainly comprise of the woodwind instruments in part B that indicated the slight sign of relief and calmness. The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.
