Choose a composition that you enjoyed listening to from our "Music of the 19th Century

& Romanticism" learning module. Write about the piece considering the following

guiding questions:

• Why do you like the piece?

• Who wrote the piece?

• When was the piece written?

• Why was the piece written?

• Where was the piece written?

• Is the piece similar to other pieces you have heard in this class or elsewhere?

• How does the piece make you feel?

• Does the piece have a distinctive form?

• What is the texture of the piece?

• How would you describe the melody? Harmony? Rhythm?

• What are the performing forces (instrumentation)?

• If there are lyrics to the piece, talk about them. What do they mean? How does the music

help convey a sense of the text?
