Performance Essay I could interpret a lot of repeated sounds and notes during this recital. Depending on the song the performer was playing determined the tempo. For instance, at some par TTS of the songs where it was supposed to be fun and happy, the tempo would be relatively fast with a lot of short notes. When the song was trying to portray a more serious tone the music would play slower with a lot of longer notes. Although there was two instruments bee g played, the violin and piano, the texture was monophonic. The violin was prominent a ND the piano Just accented the violins notes. The melody was repetitive and full of energy an d the harmony was dissonant. This type of music does not really fit into the type of music I am used to listening to. I enjoy rap and hip hop. Rap and hip hop are a more free and fun kind of genre and vi loins usually produce a more serious or sad kind of sound. Although I am familiar with this type of music. I have played the violin for five years so it was definitely enjoyable to listen to.
