The performer is calledArturo Benedetti Michelangeli.It was performed in the Children’s Corner concert. This was one of his top albums. Itwas released in 1971.The concert was a live recorded live performance. The main composer was Claude Debussy. It was produced at the end of golden era of virtuoso pianism.
The sounds produced by the piano were marvelous as Michelangeli caresses the keyboard. The blending technique and emotion involved is so balanced; he acts as if he owns the music together with the piano. The “Children’s Corner” concert had a lovely and warm interpretation. His inner world of music wasfully alive and beautifully intimate Sonics that are a model of restraint. Michelangeli gave Debussy in gestures naturally though invisible. The Children’s Corner was pure magic, profound and completely free. The concert depicted Debussy as an art of revolutionary depth. The conception of Michelangeli in the concert was transparent and richer as it appears. He is so confident and does not smile to the audience. He sways rhythmically as he plays the piano. His playing was precise to his notes and unique too. They were neither too high nor too low. The notes sounded as if they were floating.

Michelangeli combined the mood with childhood fantasy hence a naïf atmosphere created; which was quite hard to maintain. He uses a technical polish. In both sections I and II every note is heard perfectly with a unique sensitivity to form the structure in the concert. Though the notes were related they brought about a nice piece.The major hand motion of Arturo Benedetti was pronation and supination, thrust and pull, claw and throw ad wrist motions. He would combine them into complex motion. He rotates his hand on the axis of the forearm. He uses flat finger position since it offers complete relaxation of the muscles. He had the ability to change the normal sound of a

Kidwatching shows many different things when it comes to collecting data on how a student or student’s learn over a period of time. When doing kidwatching observations, it is important to monitor everything that could have an influence on a student’s performance. Different things such as resources, environments, interactions, etc. are a few things that can affect a student when it comes to learning. Being able to kidwatch at Killian Elementary, I’ve been able to collect a great deal of data when it comes to seeing a student as a scientist. This opportunity has allowed me to look at teaching science many different ways that can show how much students are interested and how much he/she understands.
“I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.” (-Claude Debussy) As the Father of Impressionist Music, Claude Debussy stove to create music anew from feeling. By restructuring the musical scale and reformatting the typical orchestral piece, his unique style emerged. His innovative approach to classical music revamped the classical scene, and the world well remembers it. For greater understanding of Debussy’s approach to music, we will examine his personal life, career, and legacy.
The first aspect of the music I recognized was the volume, or the dynamics. It ranged from forte during the climactic moments to mezzo piano during the calmer parts, but mostly remained in this range throughout the concert. There were also several instances of crescendo and decrescendo, which served to build up tension or slow the piece down, respectively.
This concert is held by the Stony Brook University music department and is to perform seven pieces of music written by seven student composers. The concert is performed in Recital Hall of Staller Center in Stony Brook University. Since it is a small hall, audiences are very close to the performers. In fact, it is the first time I am this close to the performers and the sound for me is so clear and powerful that seems like floating in front of my eyes. Among the seven pieces, “Ephemeral Reveries” and “Gekko no mori” are piano solo, “Two Songs for Joey” is in piano and marimba, “Suite” and “Fold Duet No. 1” are in woodwinds, “Elsewhere” is played by string groups, and “e, ee, ree, and I was free” is in vocal. Personally, I like the sound of piano and guitar the best. Therefore, in the latter part I will analysis two pieces in piano, “Gekko no mori” and “Two Songs for Joey”.
...ers and the audience. The dramatic nature of this piece alone is something to be reckoned with as it is extremely passionate. The symphony is presented in 4 movements as is common and begins with a Poco Sostenuto- Vivace, followed by a Allegretto movement, Presto movement, and finally ends on an Allegro con brio movement. the central theme of this piece is introduced in the first movement by a flute playing in tripple meter continuously ascending up the scales rising in dynamic contrast, continuing to grow into a louder and more stark contrast between it’s highs and lows. Consistently dance like, the piece is celebratory of its roots buried in historical Austrian music that has been present in the culture for years. The accomplishments of the soldiers for which the piece was composed for are easily told of simply by the energy and power present throughout the piece.
The genre is experimental piano music. In my opinion, Cowell did an excellent job in creating this piece because it had to take a lot of talent and practice to get it to sound right.
The first piece on the program was Polonaise from Eugene Onegin (1878). This piece is from the Romantic period composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikavosky (1840-1893). Very short piece probably around six minutes. The variations and the interesting theme made this piece the most interesting among the other compositions despite the length of this piece, but it was amusing. The piece started with trumpets playing short high notes as an introductory, with the accompaniment of violins playing quick short notes. It sounds like if it was played in a major key, very cheerful and very fast like if the tempo is Vivace. Moreover, trumpets throughout the piece reinforce the harmony. Throughout the piece varies styles were used such as legato (smooth connected style).The texture of this piece is homophonic ( one line of real interest with accompaniment). The rhythm of the piece is really catchy, pretty much predictable; most of the piece variations are centered on the main theme, but it is very pleasing to the ears (consonant).
From the perspective I have at this stage in my journey in the early childhood education field, I would like to share what I have come to value and believe in regards to early learning and care by looking at my philosophy statement. To begin we will look at the statement and highlight three key features and find out why they are important to me, then we will see what they will look like in my practice, and lastly we will examine these ideas closely by looking at where they originated. By taking an in-depth look at my philosophy statement we will better understand the motivation behind my practice which I hope to continue to refine and refresh as I gain more knowledge and experience.
There is a homophonic texture at this section. The rhythm is a quadruple one and the dynamics is pianoforte as well as the intro. The singer has a baritone voice with a rough, dark tone color. The vocalist as well as the instruments play in minor tone which is consistent with the melancholy of the lyrics that express the emotions of having lost everything and having nothing to live for. The melody’s tempo is andantino.

Children’s development in all aspects are influenced by genetic composition (Nature) and the environment in which they grow (Nurture). They are influenced by all adults in which they come into significant contact. Smiling at someone unfamiliar or speaking to a stranger is less likely to have a lasting impact on the child or their development. However, parents and immediate family have the most impact on a child’s development. A family is defined as at least one adult and one child who live together and in which the adult is control of the child’s life and behavior as well as demonstrates responsible care for the child (McDevitt & Ormand, 2013). Parents are the primary educators and caregivers,
Salman Rushdie's creation, Saleem Sinai, has a self-proclaimed "overpowering desire for form" (363). In writing his own autobiography Saleem seems to be after what Frank Kermode says every writer is a after: concordance. Concordance would allow Saleem to bring meaning to moments in the "middest" by elucidating (or creating) their coherence with moments in the past and future. While Kermode talks about providing this order primarily through an "imaginatively predicted future" (8), Saleem approaches the project by ordering everything in his past into neat, causal relationships, with each event a result of what preceded it. While he is frequently skeptical of the true order of the past, he never doubts its eminence; he is certain that everyone is "handcuffed to history" (482). His belief in the preeminence of the past, though, is distinctly different than the reality of time for the Saleem who emerges through that part of the novel that Gerard Genette calls "the event that consists of someone recounting something" (26) (Saleem-now, we can call this figure). Saleem-now is motivated to act not by the past, but instead by the uncertainty and ambiguity of the future. Saleem's construction of his own story is an effort to mitigate the lack of control he feels in looking toward the unknown future. To pacify himself he creates a world that is ordered but this world is contrary to his own reality.
Since the beginning of the piece (the piano solo), you start to perceive this feeling of sadness and grieve, which the composer is going through. After that, start to play the bandoneon and just right after the other instruments begin to play this intense tutti. Here you can feel this debate between the sadness of losing a loved person and the anger of knowing you could not say goodbye to him. Suddenly comes the violin solo that reflects the sense of remembering with affection that loved one and to miss him. And the anger goes away.
