String Quintet in C major
Name:
Professor:
May 1, 2019
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) born in Vienna is an outstanding representative of the early Romantic music of the West. His work reflects the connection between the classical music tradition of Vienna and the new romanticism of the 19th century. Schubert received a good artistic influence from an early age. When he was 5 years old, he began to learn music with his father. When she was a child, Schubert had an amazing voice and an admirable tone. In 1808 he was admitted to the boarding school of the church and became a small singer in the Children's Choir of the Palace Theatre. In the boarding school, Schubert studied many professional courses, went to the theater to listen to opera, and contacted many works by Mozart, Haydn, and many other composers. In his short life, he has produced more than 600 artistic songs, making a big contribution to the development of art songs. I will analyze String Quintet in Cmajor.
String Quintet in C major is one of his chamber music work, created in the last year of his life -1828. This quintet uses two violins, one viola, and two cellos. This arrangement makes the bass of the music enhanced. The two cells are also Dialogues can be made, and the interlacing of sounds between different instruments becomes complicated. It is the treasure in chamber music, both in terms of writing skills and spiritual. It is often commented on Schubert's greatest chamber music in his later years.
The D.956[footnoteRef:2] is compiled with a cello in addition to the string quartet. This arrangement makes the bass of the music enhanced, and there can be a dialogue between the two cellos, so the melody of the symphony in D.956The proportion has increased significantly, and the vernacular says that the sound interlacing of different instruments becomes more complicated. [2: Rick Anderson. Reviewed Work: String Quintet, D956. 2005]
The string quintet consists[footnoteRef:3]offourmovements in the usualquick-slow-scherzo-quick pattern: [3: William, Brown. Menahem Pressler: Artistry in Piano Teaching. Indiana University Press, 2009.]
1. Allegro ma non troppo
2. Adagio
3. Scherzo. Presto – Trio. Andante sostenuto
4. Allegretto
The first movement of the "C major string quintet" is composed of a sonata style. The quintet opens with an extremely expansive movement compare with other late Schubert works. The length of Allegro is over one-third of the total length of the piece around 50 minutes. The exposition lasted 154 measures and began with a wide range of C major chords. Schubert presents his unforgettable harmony, well-contoured melody and without regular rhythm pulses. This is followed by music leading to a second contrasting theme with gradually increasing motion and tension. In the E-flat accidental key, it is introduced into the duo between the two units. This part ends with a dominant (G major) chord that naturally returns to the open pitch ch.

Introduction
This paper will use five jazz music title compositions from the WGUC radio station which will be described through music journals. The titles of the music will be researched to determine whether it is newly composed or whether it is a standard jazz tune. The artist or group of artists for the songs will be researched and then placed into the most appropriate classical, contemporary or historical context. The composition will be evaluated to find out the instrumentals as well as the way human timbres are used and the manner in which they interact. The jazz type or genre which most effectively fits the composition will also be identified. The five compositions that will be focused on include the Wolf gang Amadeus Mozart: Horn Quintet, Paul Creston’s partita for violin, flute and strings, Antonio Vivaldi concert performance on #6 in a minor for violin as well as the Kegelstatt trio performances. It will also include William Grant ’still lyric quartet.
Peter Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet
Date: 01/9/2017
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – Daniele Gatti
Genre: Classical
Style: Romantic
Country: Europe
Released: 2004
Label: Harmonia Mundi USA
This work Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 and Romeo and Juliet is a masterpiece that is often overplayed even when the marketplace has several recordings of similar genres. The original dynamics and tempi for Tchaikovsky have been ignored for a long time, and therefore their restoration has been dramatically presented in a different view (Goto, et al. 2002). The fast tempo makes the real difference in this composition as the symphony has a clear trajectory. Romeo and Juliet is a more combative composition performed without the normal languid pacing. However, the speed of the performance is possibly less interesting when compared to the dynamic work benefit.
Most fans of Tchaikovsky had accused of him of jumping the shark before Romeo and Juliet were started. This was mainly because his outside bravado depicted nothing concerning his habits that may be getting some tired. However, his music is very thrilling as ever. From a personal perspective, contemporary music has not really changed view towards this composition.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Horn Quintet
Date: 17/8/2017
Genre: Concerto
Style: Classical period
Composed: 1786
This is a classical work was divided into three major movements which include the Rondo also known as Allegro vivace, Allegro moderato, and Romance which is the Andante cantabile. Initially, the manuscript which was written in green, red, black ink and blue was seen as a jocular trial to crash with the projected performer who was Joseph Leutgeb, the friend to Mozart. However, it was said recently that the rainbow score might represent a type of color code.
The program was a shrewd composition that was put together in the eighties. It includes four major works that are not overly heard (Goto, et ...
