Recommended: Mozart, the magic flute pdf analysis

On Wednesday, November 16, 2016, the QC Orchestra performed three different flute concertos in Samuel J. and Ethel Lefrak Concert Hall. The three concertos include Mozart’s Flute Concerto in G Major, K 313, Reinecke’s Flute Concerto in D major op.283 and Ibert’s Flute Concerto op. 37. Mozart’s Flute Concerto opened with a familiar ritornello which played by the string instruments. At the beginning, the dynamic of the ritornello was forte then it changed to piano. When the flute was soloing, the string instrument became soft and served as a harmony which supported the melody played by the flute soloist. The first movement ended with the ritornello. The flow of the second movement was smooth but lacked some interesting features. The third movement …show more content…

From my viewpoint, I think the relationship between the conductor and the players is as an opportunist was using an individual to get access of something he needed. Throughout the entire concert, the players were ignoring the conductor. The only time the players make eyes contact with the conductor was at the beginning and when the other players needed to know when to join in. It is as they remember the conductor only when they need him. Although the role of the conductor was to guide the orchestra, the truth of the matter is that maybe the orchestra does not need a conductor. My favorite piece is Mozart’s Flute Concerto in G Major, K 313 because the ritornello completely brainwashed me. When I first stepped into the Samuel J. and Ethel Lefrak Concert Hall, I was impressed. Compared to my high school concert, the Lefrak Concert Hall was more professional and well designed. I think it has over 400 seats. Regarding the audience, there were different age groups of people attending the concert. I sat in the middle of the hall and I could hear the kids chitchatted in the back of the hall during the first concerto. Overall, I was amazed at how fast the flute soloist can play the notes and inhale normally at the same time. In conclusion, I think that it was a successful concert and the QC orchestra did a fantastic

    In the first part of this recital the vivaldi, contained a string Quartet. After the first intermission, I looked down at the podium and noticed that the precussions were added which included the timpani, bass drum, tylophone, and cymbals. In this recital Nancy Menk was the conductor, Judith Von Houser was the soprano which played a high note, and Mary Nessinger was the Mezzo-soprano which played a slight softer note. This part of the concert was divided into four pieces. First there was the Magnificant by M. Haydn (the orchestra accompaniment was edited from the composer's manuscript by Mark Nabholz). This piece consisted of strings without violas, two french horns, and an organ.

    Overall, I was very impressed by the concert and I feel that the rest of the audience was also. The expectations for the members of the Chamber Orchestra are high and those were met but I feel that the expectations for the choral group were not as high. My expectations for the choir were not very high and they were immensely exceeded. The level of talent in that group was something that I was really not expecting at all. Emotionally, I was brought in by The Lord Nelson Mass and it was an interesting experience. Technically, I feel that everyone was flawless though I do not have a lot of experience in music. The type of music performed will never be my favorite; however, it is something that I can really appreciate.

    ...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.

    ...xcited to have this experience. Part of the drama of the concert at first is felt when the musicians come in and sit down and begin tuning up their instruments. I would not be able to comment on the performance of the orchestra. During the performance, I seen the audience were moving with the music, but I felt like that everyone seems knows more music than what I learned throughout this semester. After I went home and did some of the research on these music I finally understand why these people like to attend the orchestra concerto, it was because that every piece of music has a history behind it. The Los Angeles audience seemed to me to be people who know music and who will listen to something new in a respectful way. All the same, when the more familiar sounds of the last piece were heard, I could feel a little sense of relaxation and fun coming into the room.

  • The Flute Virtuosity: Johann George Tromlitz

    1628 Words  | 4 Pages

    Accounts written of the late Johann George Tromlitz paint him as a bitter man; he was easily upset when writers neglected to mention his influential work on the flute. He reacts to these sentiments in the forward of one of his treatises, The Virtuoso Flute-Player (1791). Tromlitz wanted to be known as a master of the flute; he believed that his ideals were vital to the flute’s development and performance. He wrote several treatises where he speaks of the correct construction and performance of the flute, the core of his ideal. Although disputed, Tromlitz’s long-lasting impact on the flute community is absolutely indispensable: his treatises guide performers to a great extent, his compositions provide standard and well-written repertoire for the flute, and his flutes themselves mark the improvements that have been essential to the development of the modern flute.

  • Mozart's The Magic Flute

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    Countless dozens of Ph.D. theses must be written about Mozart's The Magic Flute, and yet it is so lively with elements of fantasy and free-flying imagination that it is often the first opera to which children are taken. It has a plot of such complexity that it takes several viewings for all but the most studious opera buffs to sort out the characters and follow the ins and outs of the multilevel story. At the same time, it has so much easily accessible charm and so many glorious Mozart tunes that even the novice will be captivated. There is a large cast of characters including the priest Sarastro (a very serious, proselytizing basso), the Queen of the Night (a mean, angry, scheming coloratura), and her daughter, the beautiful and courageous Pamina. There is the handsome hero, Tamino, on the quintessential road trip, and his cohort in misadventure, the bird seller, Papageno.

    And a musical genius Mozart was indeed! As I analyzed this piece, I was continually struck by his following of major voice leading and counterpoint rules. The times Mozart did break away from the standard were masterfully done, engaging to the ear, and he was always able to bring us back home. In this paper I will share with you what I learned about Mozart’s Requiem, Domine Jesu measures 1 through 43. I will start with the big picture and whittle it down to the minute details.

    In conclusion, the concert was really interesting and I enjoyed myself. In my opinion the two pieces that I really like in this concert, are Sounden Horn and Polonaise from Engine Onegin, the shift between the melodic lines and the element of beauty is what made me like it. In the future I would recommend it to my friends and I will not mind to go with them at all. This kind of music is the best to me by far.

    Nepomuk Hummel’s Trumpet Concerto in E is one of the most famous pieces in the trumpet repertoire and one of Hummel’s most recognizable works. Hummel had a very close connection to Mozart and his works, which helped establish a foundation for Hummel’s compositional style. His studies and friendship were no doubt an influence in creating this masterpiece for the trumpet. When listening to Hummel’s concerto for trumpet, one can find direct references Mozart’s Don Giovanni and other works by Mozart. Although Mozart was only apart of Hummel’s life for a brief period of time, he left the largest impression on Hummel’s compositions and it is very apparent in the Trumpet Concerto in E.

    Mozart’s use of melodic contour and repetitive rhythmic motives make this piece feel very connected throughout. He begins with a two eighth note followed by two quarter note pattern. This pattern is repeated twice more until finally at measure four a new melodic and rhythmic motive is introduced. At measure four a retardation occurs using a half note to delay the resolution to the quarter note, drawing out the resolution as much as possible to create a sense of relief upon arrival. This pattern of three measures of motive “A” followed by...
