They were a lot of them that I really like them but they were other I really don't like that much. For example the Rapsodie Negre. The Rapsodie Negre I think that it one of my favorite of the classical musical . I think it kind of funny how it sound. It sound like the program of tom and jerry and the cat is chasing the mouse, and it do not make me felt asleep. But in kind of the middle is kind of sad, but not that sad. It like I make me peaceful and relaxing. My favorite part of the music was the last part of the music. It sound like something scary was coming so that song was going faster and then slow and then back to fast. I thinks that Mr. Poulenc did a great job in this one because I really not a fan of the classical music, but I love this one. Next is that Suite Francaise. I listened to this the first time before two years ago. I remember that I love it this song, but now it sound really different to my experienced. I really don't like this piece of music because this piece didn't make me feel nothing, but for the people of that time like a lot. Not like that Rapsodie Negre. That only one thing I like of this piece is the there are drums in there. I think that Poulenc could put something more happy and less sad, but it not that bad at all. The thing it not my style of music for me. I will prefer something happy and exacting. Then is the Mouvement Perpetuels. For me, to think that this peace was his first …show more content…
Even though he suffered a lot. He figure how to get out and be success in life. I think that the life of the composer I chose it really was excited and with some drama in his life. I love the passion of Poulenc have for the love for that music and other thing. Also about is encouragement of never give up. Even if were some people they didn't like Poulenc his works. I really think that Poulenc it a great role model. He didt have the chance study in a university or something because his dad think he could do something better go to a school to study. I love almost all his melody or pieces of music. My favorite was that one of the solo piano. I love how Poulenc give his heart and passion to all his pieces. Even when he went to the military when he was eighteen years old. He didn't care and still wrote some pieces. I really happy that I chose this compose because it really intresting how he life was before he was composer and how he make all he
Chopin's style, as mentioned before, is what captivates the reader. It gives the story personality, every quirk in her writing evident and interesting.

Wolfgang also had a very musically talented sister, Maria Anna; their father took them both on concert tours all over Europe, starting when Wolfgang was six years old.

2 perfectly sets the picture of what romantic style music was known for. I enjoyed the piano solo version because I always tend to be more partial to stripped down solo instrument pieces. Although I did listen to the full symphony verse and it was as equally as beautiful. The sounds created by the symphony made the piece sound more demanding and dramatic, which added a different but delightful touch to the piece of work. I love the way he created the argument within the song. There was the perfect amount of dissonance making it noticeable for the listener, but it was not overpowering. Personally, I think it sounded like an argument between two people. You can hear the two people arguing back and forth throughout the whole thing until the very end when you get a sense that the debate is over.. I would recommend it to a friend so they can experience the beautiful sound that Franz Liszt created with just one instrument. The story told within a simple eleven minutes is impeccable. Everyone can interpret it differently and take their own spin to what Liszt’s was trying to convey in the piece. The simple sounds of the piece can make anyone feel relax. It was an excellent piece with patriot roots tied in making the value of the piece even more
