Discussion 9
Research and choose one piece (not covered in the textbook) that is an example of a Classical Era concerto, a Classical Era symphony, or a Classical Era chamber sonata. Share the selection with your classmates. Be sure to confirm its authenticity by composer and date of composition. You cannot always trust YouTube labeling.
Then, discuss in-depth the musical characteristics that identify your selection as a Classical Era piece. Additionally discuss the musical characteristics that identify it as the genre you chose.
Include the YouTube or other link to your piece selection. Cite all sources using MLA format.
Discussion 10
Discuss a specific piece in relation to the visual art movement(s). How did the visual art influence the composition of this piece? What are the similar characteristics between the two art forms? This can be any composer/musician throughout history and it can be a classical piece or a popular music piece.
Tip: Do not choose a performing artist unless they composed the music themselves. For instance, you may only choose a song performed by Beyoncé if she wrote and composed it herself or in collaboration with others.
Do not choose a musical example that has already been discussed in the course or text. Include the links to music and visual art for clarity. Cite all sources using MLA format.
