My songs this year are all very challenging and I'm enjoying them immensly. I am learning one song from each period of music. The four main periods of music are:
Baroque (1600 - 1750)
Classical (1750- 1830)
Romantic (1830- 1940s)
Modern (1940s - Present)
The two pieces that I learn the best out of all four will end up being my end of the year recital pieces.
My baroque piece is by Bach and is called "Prelude 1"
My classical piece is titled "Sonata K.545 - 1st Mov." by Mozart.
My romantic piece is called "Of Foreign Lands and People" and is written by Schumann.
My modern piece is titled "Dawn" and is from the 2005 film version of Pride and Prejudice.
Kara,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your choices, they are just beautiful. It must be wonderful to be able to play the piano, I have always wanted to learn. I think I'm to darn old to learn now, but I would love for one of my daughters to play. You need to post you playing one of those peices.
