The first part, which is chorus with 32-bar form (A1 and A2), starts off slowly with the entire band without making the song boring. Right after the band plays the first chorus and interlude. I like the xylophone part because it felt like it was one part of the song.
Sonata form mainly focuses on the harmonic and thematic expression of music that sets the mood in the exposition. The development is contrasted and elaborated, and usually resolved with a safe sound of harmony in the end, recapitulating the main ideas.

The fourth movement, Allegretto Grazioso, is developed into five main episodes, in the rondo form ABABA. Compared to the rest of the piece, this movement is a happy, carefree rondo sonata in B-Flat major. In the beginning, there is a sense of lightness that is achieved by the harmony centering around the Eb, which is the subdominant of B-flat.

For me house music is not just a sound, it’s a feeling. Although I am what you call a “house-head”, many are surprised at the fact that I am also interested in classical music.

Cristofori’s pianos were not treasured in the beginning since his pianofortes were still very similar to the clavichords. There were still problems with playing fast and repeated notes.

Stein had hammers strike end closer to the player rather than the hinged end, which Cristofori would call “backwards” hammers.
