opening materials is a lyrical melody over a gentle ostinato figure. The middle
section contrasts in texture by introducing four-parts chordal movement, and by
modulating further a field in its tonality. The dynamic level is fairly restrained
throughout.

● Title : ​Vocalise By Rachmaninoff Sergei
● Synopsis :​Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff was a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist,
and conductor of the late Romantic period. Rachmaninov’s Vocalise was originally
written for voice and orchestra as the final piece in his ‘Fourteen Songs’, Op. 34. But
because the piece has no text and can be sung to a vowel the singer chooses, it lent
itself to instrumental arrangements. For me, i express the feeling of being trapped by
unhappiness and sad. It felt like you were lost someone that you love the most and
don't know what to do.

● Title : Märchenbilder
● Synopsis : Robert Alexander Schumann was born in Zwickau, Saxony, on June 8th,
1810. At first, his time was spent almost equally between music and literature but
after that he stopped and study law. Yet soon later he return back and focused on
composition due to his injured right hand. By 1850, however, Schumann began to
show signs of mental breakdown. By the following year, the symptoms worsened.
He then requested to be put in an asylum in Bonn until his death on July 29th,
1856. Schumann composed the Märchenbilder ("Fairytale Pictures") in March 1851,
not long after the first signs of his mental illness began to show. The final
 movement, Slowly and with a melancholy expression, presents a lyrical theme in
the viola with a sonorous accompaniment in the piano. One interpretation could be
that this movement represents the happy ending with which all fairy tales must
end.
