2 Blogs

I'm not sure how to do this and i might change them but here are two that i thought were interesting.

I thought this was really interesting because it took a piece of Beethoven's music and broke it a part. I thought it was interesting that different themes that he played were similar to some of what Motzart had. I also think that it is really neat that there is always a theme behind the music. Like the first movement is more sad or depressing and then for the second it moves into something more happy and then later the recapitulation is obviously sad or mystical again.
i think that it is awsome how some of this music can be played even though it is so difficult/intricate.

Mr. Hood suggested this and i found a particular article/ video that was really neat!

The crazy way that this gye played the piano was really neat and awsome! I think it was really cool that he plucked the strings to get a certain sound that he couldn't have gotten by just playing.

It is obvious that the author of the first blog has a passion for music by the way he writes about songs and really digs in to them. It allows you to create a story with the music and it is interesting to see how he interprets it. The video from the second blog is really neat! I've never seen a piano be used in that way and it was really interesting to watch. I can tell you have a strong interest in classical music!
