Concert Critique of Mozart and The Height of Classicism Essay -- Analy

plan Critique of Mozart and The Height of ClassicismOn Sunday, December 07, 2003, I t stoped to(p) the Mozart and The Height of Classicism contrive that was held in the Lincoln Theater of the tonic World symphony orchestra orchestral academy. Conducted by Nicholas McGegan featuring pianist Robert Levin. There were two pieces of medicament during this concert, one of the movements was performed by the pianist alone as a solo, Mr. Robert Levin. The programs title was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Chaconne from Idomeneo. The basic piece was Concerto No. 24 in C minor for Piano and Orchestra, K. 491, allegro, Larghetto, and Allegretto. The second piece was Symphony No. 36 in C major, K.425, Linz, Adagio-Allegro spiritoso, Andante, Menuetto-Trio, and Presto. This concert was unique in that the focus seemed to be as much on the instruments as in the music itself. As the pianist and conductor expressed the form of temporary expedient as Mozart did, which I will explain further on my criti que.The concert began promptly at 3pm, when the conductor Nicholas McGegan entered the stage with the full theater clapping, along on the whole the members of the orchestra. All the men and women in the orchestra including the conductor were wearing all black suits. Prior to his entrance I noniced that the orchestra began to play, it was obvious that the concert had not begun, so I realized that they were just toning their instruments. This in any case, happened when we returned from intermission. Being my commencement exercise time to an orchestra I first thought that they were playing around with the instruments. The Allegro part was very good. I found my self enjoying the most the beginnings and endings of the movements. It also sounded very happy, and bright. This one and Larghetto I enjoyed fully since it was the beginning of the concert. This was my first time attending an orchestral concert. I noticed how beautiful the music sounded and I began to appreciate it a lot more . I can adjudge that how great and enjoyable was, that I was in a bit of a shock. This was nothing compared to listening to a compact disc. I can theorize that my favorite instrument was the violin. The play it was play, and how beautifully it sounded, it was like nothing Ive hear before. In this orchestra I noticed that most violinist were broadly speaking women. I think that this was because women have more sensitivity, which seemed necessary to play the i... ...rs where the violins, viola, cello, flutes, bassoon, french horns and timpani played a bigger role. Im not saying that this pianissimo concerto was horrible but I just didnt enjoy as much the pianos performance in those two movements. It might have been the pianist interpretation, and exercise of improvisation. These two movements were the go performance of the pianist and once the second movement ended the piano was removed from the orchestra. Mr. Robert Levin received his applause once he finished and when he walke d back from the curtains. Over all I did love the concert because it was the same style of classicism. The last two movements Menuetto-Trio and Presto were conducted by Nicholas McGegan. My favorite was emphatically the last one, because it was so exciting, energetic and fast paced. The timpani as rise as all the other instruments sounded great. The timpani in this movement played louder and more frequently that all the other movements, including the previous piece. There was only(prenominal) one percussionist and he played two timpani. So finally, Ill end by saying again that the concert was great, and very well performed. I look forward to attending the New World Symphony again.
