What to do:
Week4: Listen to both versions of symphony number 5 (they are linked below) by Beethoven: Beethoven's wig is very funny, you will enjoy it!
Interesting points:
Symphony number 5 is one of the most recognized symphonies in the world!
There is a simple pattern of notes that is played throughout (it is the first four notes of the music). A simple pattern that is repeated over and over in music is called a motive. Can you think of any other songs where there is a simple repeated pattern throughout?!
This symphony uses all members of the string family!
Can you order these string instruments from highest sound to lowest sound?
1. Double Bass 2. Viola 3. Cello 4. Violin
At the very end of the music the dynamics change to very soft-The name of this dynamic is Pianissimo.
