The concert begins with a distant rumble of thunder, then you can hear the sounds of rain, which then subsides, then continues with renewed vigour. Due to the repeated musical passages, a realistic feeling of meeting with the weather is created.
Johann Sebastian Bach is a composer from whom classical music is often counted. His works are very diverse, there are also solemn and tragic, but there are also jokingly lyrical-like, for example, the famous “Joke”. The piece is light and direct, evokes a playful mood and gives a positive feeling due to the gentle sound of the flute with iridescences against the background of violin accompaniment.
It’s an excellent example of such a “light genre” of the classical era, is one of the most recognizable classical works. The serenade is full of cheerfulness, has a light and light colour and at the same time is full of grace.
The lively tempo of the melody conveys an emotional impulse. And the repeated main theme and the accompaniment seem to lead a dialogue between themselves, inviting the listener to plunge into the atmosphere of balls of past centuries.
It’s one of the most frequently performed works of the composer, impresses with its scale and scope. It concentrates the most typical features of the composer’s work, which are usually formulated as “through the struggle to victory”.
The symphony begins with the symbolic theme of fate, of which Beethoven himself said that ” so fate knocks at the door.” Changing, it continues to pass through the entire work. While contrasting with the main theme, the melody of the side theme is melodious and tender and seems to argue with the main one. There is an invisible picture of a persistent struggle that overwhelms the entire work.
In outstanding classical music, there are many instrumental and vocal works, often inspired by religious themes. One example of such music is the immortal “Ave Maria”. It’s one of the main prayers of the Catholic Church, addressed to the Mother of God.
Listening to this melody is like touching something sublime, divine; the bright joy that sounds in the music of this song evokes a sense of calm and peace.
The charming music of Franz Liszt and his famous nocturne dedicated to his beloved women. The quiet and sad music of the nocturne in the piano performance has a calming effect, although it causes a light, but still light, sadness.
Many musical works were created as improvisations or impromptu, without prior preparation. At the same time, real masterpieces appeared.
The melody begins with slow iridescences, which, accelerating, merge into a single stream, like the flashes of meteorites, fascinating with their mystery, in the light of which all the everyday bustle disappears.
The overture to the opera “Wilhelm Tell” is perhaps one of the most famous orchestral music from the opera repertoire. At the beginning of the overture, invitational sounds are heard, as if solemnly greeting the listener, after which the music suddenly gives way to the trampling of hooves and a gallop, which in its run more and more actively engages in a rapid cycle.
One of the most famous works of Paganini became his real symbol or even a representation card. Caprice means a composition in a free form, and in this freedom, the composer was able to fully reveal the full extent of his talent.
In the sounds of caprice, everyone discovers a rich range of feelings and moods. And, although the theme of the play is very concise, it repeats itself like an obsession, having a truly mesmerizing effect.
The Radetzky March was written by Johann Strauss I as a greeting to the troops of Field Marshal Radetzky returning after the suppression of the uprising and subsequently became their parade march.
This composition can be attributed to the genre of war songs due to its rhythm and period of writing. The music of the march is solemn and exultant. According to tradition, the audience accompanies its performance with rhythmic clapping and stamping.
