choose one of these two questions , also provide two posts to respond to students. (300 words).
Select ONE of the following questions and write a personalized response to the question selected, using appropriate musical terminology from the readings associated with Module 5: The Romantic Period. Your reflection should have a minimum of 300 words and should be your original work, not the work or analysis published in another source. Then read and reply to two (2) of your classmates’ posts, offering your insight into the works discussed. (You may choose to respond to a question other than the one you chose for your initial post.)
Question 1:
Can you think of any music performers from today, or from recent times, whose performance technique — virtuosic (showy) like Paganini’s and Liszt’s -– includes or included magnificent showmanship? (Check the textbook and Wikipedia for information about Paganini and Liszt.) Identify and describe that performer’s style of showmanship. Compare it to the style of showmanship that was associated with Paganini or Liszt.
Question 2:
The Romantic era was a time of dramatic change in the world. What key “revolutionary” influences do you think are most important in the art, literature, and music of the 19th century? What characteristics of the musical developments of the Romantic era can you hear in contemporary popular music that you generally listen to?
