This concert was performed by four young, energetic, and talent musicians: Vera Alekseeva play a violin, Austin Hitchcock plays a French horn, and Karin Di Bella plays piano. When I entered the theatre, my eyes were immediately caught by a beautiful piano on the stage under the bright light. Some students were taking pictures of the instruments.
Before the concert start, the musicians were briefly introduced themselves and descript about the pieces they going to play. The audiences were exciting and interesting for the concert. It was a perfect opportunity to experience such a wide variety of music. Claude Debussy’s piece Allegro Vivo from the Sonata for violin and piano give me impress journey.

Compared with the allegro, it has an intermediate tempo. Harmony is simultaneous blending of different pitches. It is formed to a consonance because pitches blend easily together.

In terms of allegretto, form refers to how music is organized. It has a quite fast tempo. The rhythm is rigoroso. After the triplet from the piano, the theme is repeated again. At the end of the movement, it has a homophony form, which the piano takes the lead. Those characteristics traits that make Debussy’s work distinguishable from others.

The violin plays an important role in the theme. The rhythmic pattern becomes shorter and shorter, sounding quite busy emotionally. The repeated low frequency notes are mixed with relatively high frequency notes, creating a composite texture.
