the piece. Did the instrumentation change with each piece?
How were the works different from each other?
How was the performance itself?
Pick the piece you liked the best. If it is a longer work with many

Then you are to listen to this piece again. Check the TC library, download
from i-tunes. Email me if you’re desperate and can’t find it.
What is your reaction on hearing it a second time? What do you hear
now that you didn’t hear in concert?
Include a paragraph on the composer. What musical period did he/she
belong to – this will be in any biographical information you find. If you can
only find the dates, look up the periods of music and see where they fit.
The names of pieces are formal names like books; they should be capitalized
and underlined.
