Franz Doppler Add-on

Franz Doppler composed Andante e Rondo op. 25 in 1870. I was able to experience this composition preformed by Giuseppe Nova, Maxence Larrieu, and Andrea Bacchetti. The piece was preformed in Alba by two flutes and a piano. This piano starts the introduction, slowly as the flutes then join in. The music seems to have a consistant slow pace, along with long notes that often are drawn out and not quick to change. The feeling and expression that I recieved from engaging in this music was generally relaxed. There different components to this pieces, sense it does continue for about 1o minutes. There is a moment where the composition gets faster and the rythm becomes more upbeat and louder, stronger sounding notes are being played during this time. I feel as though this was able to create a better connection with the audience, as it turned up beat and happy sounding. The rythm was easy to follow and interesting to listen to. As a non music major, I feel that I was able to connect more with the music, and understand the emotion inbedded within the preformance and composition once the rythm became happier and easy to follow.
