The pieces we heard last week

The Bradenburg concerto is a represent piece composed by Bach who considered the divine composer in Braque period.It”s a chamber work with the polyphony and terraced dynamic.The whole piece is quited square and active which the dominant reasons are the melody is quite smooth and rhythm is very precise.

Ravel’s is a impression keyboard work with sonata form.As we hearing,the swinging melody and colourful harmony purposing a kind of mood which is emotional and expressive.We also appreciate the rhythm is dance-like that give the audience a chromatic feeling with the changeable dynamic.

Prokofiev is bored in German who has been considered one of the greatest composer in contemporary period.His piece always reflect some social issues in that period such like the piano sonata NO.7.We can observed the piece is composed in A-B-A design and the first part is definitely contrast with the second part. The first part for me is very active but aggressive,the main reason is the disjunct harmony and the erratic rhythm.Obviously it reflect the the battle scene which is the from the Second War.

Makvokosmos is a famous modern piece composed by George Gramb.The piece use a kind of new technique which is struck the piano and mute the string.This keyboard work also used pedal sustained and glissando which are the main character of it.The rhythm is extremely free and the melody even is quite weir that present to audience a kind of mood which is creepy.
