I will be describing symphony, concerto, sonata and quartet in relation to their historical background.

According to an online dictionary, a symphony is defined as “an elaborate instrumental composition in three or more movements, similar in form to a sonata but written for an orchestra and usually of far grander proportions and more varied elements.” A concerto is “a composition for one or more…

Later, Aibne elected to play a Celestial Violin Concerto known as the “Pillars of Creation” at the conclusion of a harrowing interment of two children in London. Only the canorous melody seemed to articulate the inexpressible grief of the bereaved family. In fact, with the help of the music, the mourners’ souls grew wings to soar across the solar system and into the interstellar space to seek refuge among the stardust. After all, they were made of stardust too and would one day return to…

MacDowell was very similar to the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Despite the size difference, his smaller piano works were usually far more superior than his large orchestral works. MacDowell has written two piano concertos, one in the year 1884 and one in 1890. The Second Concerto has managed to keep a steady popularity, however neither of them display the full potential of his ability like his other works do. He wrote four sonatas: the Tragica, the Eroica, the Norse, and the Keltic. It…

This concerto had a variety of musical pieces that displayed the talent and beauty of not only the music, but also the performers. The piece…

Was it his channel-like, anesthesia-releasing body that influenced this spurt of creativity? Was it instead a sudden surge of divine intervention? Or both? I cannot imagine…
