Listening Reflection #1 – After your first hearing of this piece, please jot down some initial impressions. Any reaction or response is valid! 20 points After hearing this song for the first time, I couldn’t help but think of another symphony composed by Joseph Haydn. This is Symphony No. 94 in G Major, or “Surprise”. His Symphony No. 6 reminds me of his Symphony No. 94, especially during the middle of the symphony because of its dynamics and instrumentation, but the beginning of Symphony No.6

(Burkholder, Grout & Palisca 2010: 540) Some of Franz Joseph Haydn early symphonies were composed in three-movement form, which derived from the Italian opera's overtures. Theas symphonies are Allegro to Andante and the in parallel or subdominant is Minuet or Gigue. Some of his works were four movements in the same key, this form originated from Sonata da Chiesa, Andante to Allegro to Mineut and ends with Presto. (Burkholder, Grout & Palisca 2010: 528) Occasionally the first movement started with a

The symphony was popularised by Haydn and became “the chief vehicle of orchestral music in the late 18th century” (Grove 3). In his early symphonies, Haydn, known as ‘the Father of the Symphony’ (Rosen), established the three-movement symphonic structure: Allegro - Andante - Finale (in triple meter). Haydn appears to have followed the structure of the Italian opera overture of the type attributed to Alessandro Scarlatti (Grove 3). This structure became the benchmark and was developed upon by later

in which the strings bring back the controlled and graceful chromatic idioms heard in the second theme of the first movement. The third movement is a classical minuet and trio, with the minuet being presented in a darkly colored minor key, the pastoral trio emphasizing the presence of the french horns, and finally returning to the minuet as expected. The fourth movement is in rondo form though is presented as a modified sonata

Another composer who played an important role in the development of the Symphony is no other than Joseph Haydn, the ‘Father of Symphony’. One of his works, Symphony no. 92 in G Major, Hob I:92, composed in 1789, will be reviewed. “Oxford” Symphony was commissioned by Count d’Ogny for the Loge Olympique Concerts in Paris. It is known as “Oxford” because Haydn presented this symphony at the Sheldonian Theater at Oxford University in July 1791, where he was awarded a honorary doctorate degree. This

consisted of three movements. The three movements generally followed the form of “fast – slow- fast”. The first movement was generally referred to as “allegro”, the second movement “andante”, and the third and last movement was generally a dance e.g. minuet or a gigue. Giovanni Battista Sammartini, a prominent composer of early symphony, used an earlier version of Sonata-form in his first

This dance is a combination of the African and French minuet, and was created by African slaves who saw ballroom dances and added their own upbeat that was a skip or hop. The dance was originally a circle dance and not a danced by individual couples. The style of dance is Latin American in a 2/4 time signature

party Saturday night. I was following her because she was the one who knew Rowan. We had to drive about 50 minuets away WoodStock. We got to the third traffic light then the light turned red. She turned right and a shabby, old, pickup truck t-boned her." I couldn't help but start to get tears as the memory came back to me. "The wreck was so bad where she was." After I stopped talking for a minuet, he started to write everything down. When he moved his arm to write, I noticed some scratches and bruises

replaced the traditional dance movement for a more abstract intermezzo. The minuet or scherzo as third symphonic movement was a postponement of the baroque dance suite. In a symphony serves a useful purpose: usually runs as a lighter and simpler piece between a sober possibly slow movement and a final often elaborate. This function could also be performed by movements that do not derive dance. So replacing “Haydn Minuet and scherzo of Beethoven by Brahms intermezzo” was a touch of originality that

the orchestra. In Mannheim, Johann Stamitz, a violinist and composer, laid the official foundation for Classic style. A four piece movement with a minuet and trio as the third movement, and a Presto finale became the standard form for symphony compositions. Stamitz created a new style of composition with three to four movements, consisting of a minuet and trio in the third movement and a presto finale. The length of the sonata-form in the first movement of his symphonies were expanded, offering a

checking it every two minuets to see if there’s something new on social media, or one of your friends texted you. It is so easy to get distracted when your distraction is right in your pocket or sitting right next to you. Phones aren’t the only distraction but I definitely think it’s one of the biggest; I definitely struggle with that

note of from that class will be right there in that section. When you go to study the best way is not to just go over it for a few moments, then quit, it is to study the topic for ten minuets then take a break then go back to it and keep repeating that sequence. Some people like to cram it all in at the last minuet when they study. What I mean by that is some people stay up all night studying and then go to school looking like a zombie because they did not get any sleep, or they get up really early

We walked around the plane and examined it. It was amazing that a machine this big could fly like the birds. After a few more minuets passed by, Keith surprised us by saying that the biplane was his and that he would let us take a ride in it with him if we wanted to. I eagerly turned to our father, who was smiling, and asked him if I could. He said that it would be alright. I could not believe it, I was going to get to ride in an airplane! Keith ran back into the the building and returned with

register because someone else had just asked them like a minuet ago. I asked those people if they already registered and or plan to register and most said yes but when I checked on a couple of them in a few minutes they were still texting or watching a video on their phone. Basically what I learned for this experience was that even though I tried to show people that voting was important and it was a very simple process that they could complete in minuets those that didn’t want to listen were either just

Hand made and lots of effort, that was how cars were made back in the day, It all started with Henry Fords Quadricyle which was assembled in July of 1896, it was based on bulky men carrying heavy parts such as the engine, axel and other parts of the car, it was assembled in a small warehouse with all parts being brought in the warehouse in small quantities as their was not enough space to maintain them. These cars took very long to produce as they were hand made, which increased the value and price

The Deaf patient was actually running behind schedule so we continued to wait in the lobby. Mrs. Shaw explained to me that for every 1 hour of the assignment, it is appropriate to wait 15 minuets for

literacy improvement has progressed nicely this study period. Although, I understand this will be a long process - as mentioned in Grellier and Goerke (2014), the best way to develop your reading and writing skills is to do hours of exercise - each minuet step I take to improve will be beneficial. Even with my hectic life schedule, I have managed to implement all the strategies mentioned in Assessment one. The first step I needed to take was to advance my vocabulary. Vocabulary builder has been a

"Fanfare for the Common Man" by Arron Copland was composed in 1942, and was written during World War 2. The contrast between the loud, bright, assertive tones and the soft, slightly mysterious tones that you hear within the music is quite unique. The spirit and form of this piece gives it that almost inspiring and patriotic feel. This piece is orchestrated from various trumpets, horns, trombones, tubas, timpanis, bass drums, and gongs. "It don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing") by

After observing the variety of concerts available,I did some research on the pieces and the composers. The one that most caught my attention was Joseph Haydn. Haydn worked many jobs starting off, including as a music teacher and a street serenader His parents noticed that he was gifted in the field of music and knew that there was no future for serious musical training in Rohrau.However, life with the Franks was not simple, as Hadyn remembers being frequently hungry and embarrassed by his clothing
