enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organization, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and over three hundred cantatas of which around two hundred survive. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth. Bach's abilities as an organist
the violin solo represents the calm dreams the shepherd is having. Each Season is a movement in the composition and I will be focusing on the spring section. The music starts off with a small range of instruments only involving violins, solo viola, cellos and the harpsichord. The tempo stays consistent throughout most of the piece which is different from Beethoven’s symphony which has several changes and longer range of instruments. The harpsichord and the viola play very well with each other making

The Music of Johannes Brahms and Frederic Chopin Johannes Brahms and Frederic Chopin were two of the most significant and influential musicians of the Romantic era, which extended from approximately 1820 until 1900. Romantic music built on the ideas that were developed in the preceding era, the Classical era, and had even greater ranges of tone color, dynamics and pitch, as well as greater emphasis on dramatic, unstable chords (Kamien 1998, p. 210). Chopin, who only lived thirty-nine years, was

The piano was not there when the first song played, after the first song played the piano was lifted out of the stage’s floor and placed onto the middle

Nevertheless, he distinguished himself as one of the most inventive, prolific, and significant composers of the classical period. Emmanuel Bach was born in Weimar, German on March 8, 1714.

He didn’t notice other people’s gazes. He accelerated his steps to track the smell of food like a grey hound, and he finally reached the source of that luscious scent
