Bach
The piece I chose to examine was the Brandenburg
concerto No.4, composed by John Sebestian Bach. As I was
listening to the piece, I realized that I actually
recognized several elements, which we have discussed in
class. The tempo of this piece is relatively quick and
upbeat. The pitch level was moderately high which I
recognized as the violin. I also heard an organ playing a
lower pitch level, which was harmonizing the sounds of the
violin. Many instruments came into play throughout this
piece which I thought created an enjoyable harmonizing
sound. As the piece continued, I noticed many dynamic
changes. It began with a loud and strong beginning and at
times it would descend down to a softer tone. After this I
noticed it quickly descending up. I heard a constant rhythm
throughout most of the piece; however, at times it slowed
down to put more emphasis on the instruments being played
as an accent mark.
I noticed that the violin had a pleasant
sound production, which clearly exemplified Bach's
expression. The timbre of the violin and organ create a
different color. The piece ends with a slight tempo change
and continuous harmony occurring with the higher ad lower
pitches reinforcing each other in consonance
No transitions!
This essay contains plenty of good info on No.4 However, you need to join your sentences using transitions. As of now your paper lacks an air of disction.
