#BelliniDiva #Mus351SB The flute melody at the introduction is lyrical, which likes a primer of voice of Norma. Despite the music, the story of an opera is also very attractive.

#mus351sb #RossiniPatria The introduction sounds very light and pleasant, which represents Tancredi’s happy emotion. The solo voice is neutral, it is hard to identify its gender.

#MUS351SB #RossiniAlgiers I’m curious why Mustafa prefer to find a Italian lady as his wife. Maybe is because she is unruly character, the music of her entrance shows her attitude to Mustafa. The use of pizz at beginning, lead audiences into a humorous motion.

#Mus351 #RossiniBarber I love the allegro section, especially that five eighth notes motive. The closing is impressive, the crescendo makes music end in jollification.

#MoreBeethoven5 #mus351SB The very ending is grand, the change of tempo make the last sounds more aggressive and interesting.

#mus351SB #BeethovenCavatina This string quartet is very emotional and touching. Although it is mostly Eb major, it sounds depressed. Instrumental recitative of Beethoven and CPE Bach is charming!

#Beethoven5 #Mus351SB We finally learned Beethoven Symphony No.5. Short-short-long motive just like he sound of “fate is knocking the door”， which appears everywhere in the first movement.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#Mus351SB #BeethovenEroica There are many dissonance in this symphony. It is also passionate and dramatic. I like Beethoven uses syncopated sforzandi to stall the harmony. The story of dedication is interesting!

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#Mus351SB #BeethovenSpetet It is rarely to hear Septet. If I don’t read the book, l would never know this is written by Beethoven. It is too light and happy, although the audiences like this style during that time, this is not Beethoven style. The fifth movement is cute!

#Mus351SB #BeethovenPathtique I cannot help myself to say l love this music again! Beethoven’s Music is powerful and passionate. The dark minor color beginning makes audiences feel exited! What and why Beethoven “systemically evading cadences” to maintain tonal tension ?

#mus351sb #Mozart41 The finale sounds like military music, which is grand and playing with trumpets, many military gestures. The finale is genius, many instruments playing simultaneously but very clearly!

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#Mozart40 #MUS351SB Symphony No.40 is my favorite one among Mozart’s symphonies. The opening is charming and mystery. It is typically a sonata form and dramatic l. Mozart is able to modulate very smoothly. Although the Melody is similar, l can’t help myself to listening it!

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#mus351SB #MozartDon The overture is very lovely! The interesting thing is that our orchestra had performed it before.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#Mus351SB #HaydnCreation The overture is grand, it perfectly match the title “creation ”. The recitative represents voice of god. The chorus just like angles.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#HaydnLondon #Mus351SB The first movement is binary form,although it doesn’t have melodic contrast, but it modulate a lot. I love the opening, especially the conversation between high strings and low strings. The last movement is excited and it borrows some melody from folk song.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#HaydnJoke #mus351sb Haydn use long note with 2 sixteenth notes to create humorous sound. The second movement turn quartet into trio，this is my for time to see it. After learning music history, l finally know how genius these composers are!

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#MUS351SB #HaydnFarewell Haydn’s symphony is excited and attractive! It has modulated a lot. It is rare to see F# minor in previous music, this key has a magic, which made this music sounds dark but powerful, especially opening.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#MUS351SB #SammarartiniSymphony This work sounds very bright and it is said on the book that it is the earliest freestanding concert symphonies,which is interesting.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#MUS351SB #JCBachSymphony There are many dynamics in the music and it is very fast. It contains many different thematic materials.

[Peng Guan @PengGuan6]

#MUS351SB #GluckOrfeo Opening chorus and recitative is very tragic. There’s no ornament in it, but some syncopation in the middle part of music. Although “what am l “ is a tragedy, this movement is in major key, it has modulated to minor key for a while and then turn to tonic.
