I attended a music concert held at the Manhattan School of Music at 8:00 pm Friday, November 08. The concert was directed with various types of music using many instruments. The environment was penetrating as the concert hall was about the dimensions of an average home living room with about 45 people in the spectators. The concert was separated into two main parts with an interval of 15 minutes among the parts. In this concert report, I would like to concentrate on primarily the music pieces I’ve enjoyed and the understanding I have had.
The first part of the concert was varied and colorful as the opening two pieces were presented by both cello and violin. The continuo bass and stable tempo were continued throughout the whole piece therefore these two pieces were very dark. The melodies came typically from the cello, which was highlighted the most. The harmonies were conclusively at times a bit frustrating to the ear. As for an average citizen with an imperfect quantity of musical information, the harmonies were very unfamiliar and problematic to consume.
The melodies were at times very emotional with an abrupt gust of excitement which may be an appearance of anger. The second part of the concert was limited in variety but with a thicker texture. The instruments involved only the piano the interesting part, however, was that two pianos played a single piece as a duet. It was the first time I had seen two pianos located right across each other singing the same piece. The starter of Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major had a cute back-to-back tune.
The piece sounded like a couple, who are just starting a relationship, were singing to each other about their feelings. The rest of the pieces were done either by a solo or duet which was pretty good but didn’t leave as much of an impression as the sonata for two pianos. This was my first chamber music concert and credibly my experience was touching. The complete concert was about two hours and those two hours felt long for someone who had never been to a classical concert before. The atmosphere was very intense, but it also comes with a good advantage of staying focused only on the music.
The former’s distance to the audience was very close, which allowed me to speculate every single emotion being produced throughout the concert. The ceiling of the room itself was very tall, which made this unique echo that enlarged the sounds of the instruments. The audience appeared very professional as total silence was the only rejoinder they had until the end of the piece. The overall concert was an amazing experience and I am looking forward to attending another such chamber music concert soon.
