LM 6 response- Harris, A.

MUSI 1107 LM 6 Response Assignment Due Sunday, November 19" 1.) Listen to all of the Listening Guides for the LM 6 chapters: Schubert: Elfking (Erlkonig) Chopin: Etude, Op. 10, No. 12 (Revolutionary). Hensel: September: A the River, from The Year (Das Jahr) Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, IV Dvorak: String Quartet in F Major, Op. 96 (American), I Verdi: Rigoletto, Act 111 Brahms: A German Requiem, IV For all 7 selections, write a brief review. Include the following information: Schubert: Elfking (Erlkonig) 1. 2. Genre: Lied I thought this peace was beautiful. I thought it was cool how the singer can contrast between singing tones for the father, son, Erlkonig, and the narrator. The son, given his situation, is frantic with fear, and the performer’s tenor voice in his parts give off that emotion. The father’s bass is sturdy as if the father knows what lies behind him and is trying to convince himself it isn’t real. Elfking’s voice sounded very rich and melodious. Chopin: Etude, Op. 10, No. 12 (Revolutionary). 1. 2. 3. Genre: Piano Etude Absolute music This piece sounded like so many keys were played at once all throughout which I found pretty impressive. Chopin’s piece sounded very sad as if he was speaking about his life story. I personally did not like it as it sounded a little hectic. But, this piece definitely sounded like it takes a great piano player to play those keys at a fast pace. Hensel: September: A the River, from The Year (Das Jahr) 1. 2. 3. Genre: Character Piece Program music This piece was fluid and enticing. I personally liked this piece as it had a beautiful piano melody. It sounded very peaceful to close your eyes and just listen to on a good day. It was a very "absorbing” music to where you can actually imagine the water flowing.
