Great piece... very interesting how ellington switches from a swing feel to a latin style rhythm #mus101sb #ellingtonconga

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

I think that some of gershwins music was inspired by bartok's music for strings... also very rhythmic and jazzy #mus101sb #gershwinpreludes

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Very rhythmic and jazz influenced, true to Gershwin's style. #mus101sb #gershwinpreludes

I love west side story!! I played the show (with someone who couldnt conduct) very rewarding experience! #bernsteinstory #mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

More of a melody than the previous two, but the harmony is very static and is made up of short repetitive motifs. #Adamsnino #Mus101SB

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Jarring to listen to--no real words but instead short sounds which are passed between singers. #Saariahodreams #Mus101SB

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Very minimalist --simple, repetitive motif begins on one instrument and new motifs are added as music progresses. #Reich18 #Mus101SB

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

This to me isn't music as much as it is a bunch of random sounds. Definitely not for me. #VareseElectronic #Mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Has some beautiful beautiful moments but at the same time some very gnarly harmonies. #LigetiLight #Mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Not pleasant to listen to. Technically difficult, and a good academic exercise, but aesthetically not great IMO. #WebernPieces #Mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Copland is in my opinion the best American composers, and this is one of his masterpieces. Lots of large intervals #CoplandSpring #Mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Begins homo-phonically, with all the parts eventually diverging. Much more pleasant than schoenberg. #BartokMusic #Mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Typical of debussy--very atmospheric, with the underlying chords doing the 'talking' rather than the melody. #debussyclouds #mus101sb

I LOVE MAHLER!!! this movement is a minor version of the "frere jacques melodu. Those pedal f's are fun. #Mahlerfuneral #mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

@DrCanonic it is!!! I play the french horn

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

I've played Great Gate of Kiev before; it's quite an endurance challenge, but very well worth it in the end. #Musorgskypictures #mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Clarinets and bassoons open with a chorale, setting the mood for the first half. Then a fast section takes over. #Tchaikovskyromeo #mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Very fast and jovial, with the violin presenting many virtuostic runs and sweeping arpeggios. #mus101sb #Brahmsviolin

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Triple meter, very upbeat. From the video it seems like it is about a man singing a love song to a lady. #VerdiRigoletto #Mus101sb

[Bryan Kupferman @BryanKupferman]

Has a very nightmarish and dark quality to it. Brief passages of light music are interrupted by darkness. #Berliozfantastic #Mus101sb
