Introductions partis played with piano and then with xylophone. It starts off with four bar just about right rhythm. 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.
Second Essay I went to the concert players name is “Palisades virtuosi”. The concert title name is “Music Born of Adversity.” There are three players. “The Commissioners” by Chamber Music America magazine, Palisades Virtuosi has established an enviable presence in the chamber music world since its inception eleven years ago. The concert was newest and interesting for me because trio is not normal group. I saw lots of piano with strings instruments such as violin, viola and cello.

When the music started I immediately started thinking of a man and woman having a conversation. This conversation was represented in music, told a story of falling in love, being hurt, and one of making up.
The stringed instruments were the accompaniment; therefor, they began with harmonics, chromatics, and tremolo for various measures rather than having a moving part. The melody was given to the flutes and soloist, Sami Junnonen, who was also very talented. The song was about 22 minutes long and he had the whole piece memorized. It sounded very sad, but soothing simultaneously. There were visuals around the theater, which made it easier to understand and visualize what Lopez was trying to describe when writing the song.
The exposition of Symphony No. 5 is a lively one, with those first notes played by the orchestra, to open up the listeners ears. The first few measures ensure the listener that the theme is what it is, and that throughout the song, slight, but also vast variances are heard. The first theme ranges from the beginning up to 55 seconds and then moves on into theme 2.

One of the renowned fortepiano builders was Johann Andreas Stein, was one of Silbermann’s pupils and took up his work to improving the instrument. Stein had hammers strike end closer to the player rather than the hinged end, which Cristofori would call “backwards” hammers. This “Viennese” action became to be widely used in Vienna up to the mid 19th century but it required very elegant sensitivity of touch to play the Viennese fortepiano since the piano was very sensitive to the player’s touch.
