1. The piece that I will be reviewing is Haydn’s, "Symphony
No. 94 in G major" ("The Surprise Symphony"). As I took the
time to listen to all the compositions we were provided, this one
seemed to be the one that I really liked. Joseph Haydn could be
deemed as the ultimate
philosopher
of music. Not only would I consider "Symphony No. 94 in G
major" ("The Surprise Symphony") a masterpiece, I would also
say that when listening to it, that it was purely
aesthetic
to the human ear. As I played the composition for the third
time, I thought to myself, “how could someone in the 1700’s
grant music so much
creativity
.” All of Haydn’s compositions contains a
timbre
that seemed only worthy to be performed in front of the
members of the
aristocracy.
It was not until the age of 20 when Haydn began to self-educate
himself on the basics of music such as
symphonies
,
musical

4. variations
, and the theory conducting a
concert
. He was mainly infamous for his multitude of
string
quartets
. I feel as though "Symphony No. 94 in G major" ("The Surprise
Symphony") is a composition that would be performed at
celebration mainly due to the fact that as I listened to it, it
brought great
embellishment
to my spirit. Haydn’s work is far from the work of Mozart due
to the fact that all of his compositions are ruled as happy and
playful whereas Mozart’s compositions are meant to be
performed at a king’s
requiem
. Haydn was ahead of his time when it came to performing and
attaining
structure
of music. Overall, he will always remain one of the greatest of
the Classical Era and his work is continually performed by
modern day composers.
2. Of course, these musical selections included
violins
but my favorite thing to hear was the piano. When looking it up
on YouTube, there were many
concerts

5. that popped up as though the two pieces by him are very
popular. For the first the second movement the
tempo
was more subtle and remained calm. I listed to one concert that
was in
America
, Texas to be exact For the third movement it was very upbeat
and a distinct
variation
change. I enjoyed the
theme
of the third movement alot more than the second. For some
reason classical music always reminds me of my ballet
dances
and makes me want to get my bar and point my feet.
Overall there was a
recapitulation
in both movements, being that the piano was the main sound. If
I had to chose an instrument that I have always wanted to learn
it would be the piano. Of course the musical
form
of classic music remained the same and there is no doubt that
he was still one of the basic classical composers at the time.
