I really like the extreme dynamic contrasts. The main theme is quite aggressive. I can picture waves crashing on rocks. Very clear A-B-A' form. #MUS351SB#HaydnFarewell
First Movement is so majestic and fancy. I really like the block chords and dotted rhythms. Second movement is so short but it still sounds nice

This piece is so dramatic and really hits some high notes. I like how the finale ends with all voices singing together, it reminds me of a cheesy broadway musical. #MUS351SB#PiccinniGirl
The story to this is kind of weird... I find it funny how her inner thoughts are sung so upbeat, then she turns and only shows serious sincerity to Uberto. The melody turns minor once shes "apologizing", then turns 180 to show her true intentions ππ #MUS351SB#PergolesiServant
I really like the call and response between the two parts. I really like how some of the structures aren't as predictable as sonatas from JS Bach #WFBachSonata#MUS351SB
Love how soloistic this piece is. Since the sounds are so exposed, the actual clicking and plucking can be heard before each note and I think it adds to the piece #CPEBachSonata#MUS351SB
the listener can really differentiate where the main thme is by hearing the block chords. It's quite repetitive but it sounds nice #JCBachSonata#mus351sb
All the Scarlatti Sonatas presented are in binary form. GM is so light and so cute :) I really like the character+color changes in each musical phrase in F minor, so pretty #MUS351SB#ScarlattiSonata
The imitative polyphony in this kind of reminds me of the sacred pieces from last year. Wish there was more of a build and release somewhere. I really like the opening ritornello #MUS351SB#BachPassion
The imitative polyphony is lovely in the strings for Versus I and I really like the how the tenor gets the spotlight in Versus III. #MUS351SB#BachChrist
The whole thing is just repetitive. Reiterations of the same melody. Literally. Everywhere. π The repetition also builds up to a climax so thatβs nice #MUS351SB#HandelMessiah
I don't think we have encountered non secular music like "for unto us a child is born" Good luck to church choir children who have to sing all these melismas ππ#MUS351SB#HandelCaesar
The sixteenth notes sound so angry. I was impressed by the separated sixteenth note melismas this singer could sing xD So dramatic #MUS351SB#HandelIsrael
Another fundamental piece in chamber rep. Geeking out a little about the gorgeous traverso solos :D but of course, props to Bach for putting harpsichord in the spotlight which was unusual at the time #MUS351SB#BachBrandenburg
Love the embellishments! So fun to play and so pretty to hear! I don't get why Couperin was so uptight about the ornaments though, there's already too many written to alter it anyway. #MUS351SB#CouperinNightingale#naptimemusic
Hahaha this is one of those pieces that everybody knows but βdonβt know the name ofβ Definitely captures all the lovely moments of spring; hearing all the birds and bagpipes :) #MUS351SB#VivaldiSpring
