In this assignment Id like you to choose a specific composition from one of the Romantic Era composers and discuss it in depth. You can talk about the Seven Elements of Music and how they affect the music, how the piece differs from other pieces from other eras or composers, how the piece exhibits evolution over previous time periods, or how the music affected the culture around it during its time. Choosing a piece isnt hard, and though Id like it to be a piece you like and are familiar with you can use resources to help locate an important or iconic piece of music. Here are a few examples:
Hector Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique – Episode de la vie dun artiste | en cinque parties OP.14
Ludwig Van Beethoven, Fur Elise | Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor
Franz Schubert, Serenade (Stndchen) D889
Giacamo Puccini, Nessun Dorma from the opera Turandot
Please write Two Hundred Words about this topic, and as always there are extra credit points available for longer and more complex compositions!
