Music Composition and Composer Paper Mary Wilson ARTS/340 July 29, 2014 Instructor Marva Ballard-Smoot Music Composition and Composer Paper Beethoven, Mozart, Michael Jackson, and Stevie Wonder are musical artist I enjoy listening too.

Emmaneul Mensah Caitlin O’Neil Music 150 3 – 31 – 2010 Midsemester Paper The performance by Lowell Lieberman Concerto for Clarinet, orchestra, and the Beethoven Emperor Concerto by Jon Nakamatsu, piano soloist was quite a spectacular performance. Both performances were very entertaining and professional as well. In the commencement of the show, I was anticipating seeing some kind of unexciting show, but as the show progressed, I found it to be very interesting through their interaction with the audience.

Even though part of his inspiration came from personal problems, he proves that no matter what happens in life always continue and follow your dreams. Tchaikovsky’s music has inspired me to go beyond the notes and play the piece musically as well as to determine what the composer was feeling and experiencing during the compositional process.
