Listen – Question on the Reading

  • What effect does the “continuity” of the prelude have on the audience? (pg 5)
  • Shout out to Ashley… pg 6 where it talks about musical form. Even a chaotic climax has a clear organization in music.
  • Can we talk about the difference between relative duration and absolute duration?
  • What is it that allows people to have perfect pitch?
  • Is opera always dramatic and serious? Why did it start off as this in the first place?
  • How do all the parts of music that we read about work together to portray such intense emotion?
  • And weird question… but what came first, the music itself or the parts of music? How is it that a person that has no knowledge of those parts become amazing at it? Can you know the parts inside and out but be musically impaired (from a performance perspective)?
