My essay is on Edward Grieg, Norwegian composer and pianist. I need a 3-4 double spaced paper which includes the following questions:
a. What is this composer’s general biographical information?
(While this is important and can sometimes be interesting, this answer should
not be the majority of your paper. The composer’s biography should only be one
paragraph in length.)
b. What
was/is the composer’s compositional style?
c. What
was/ is the composer’s compositional output? You do not need to list all of
their pieces, just provide general information. For example,
if one were
writing about Giacomo Puccini, they would say that he primarily composed in the
genre of opera and some art songs.
d. Why is
this composer’s music interesting to you? Be specific.
e. What
piece/pieces caused you to choose to write about this composer? And why? It
will be necessary to listen to several of the composer’s pieces to answer this
question.
f. Why is
this composer important in the history of music?
g. How does
this composer’s music compare or contrast to the other music studied so far in
this course?
h. What are
any other important facts about this composer’s life or place in music history?
Also, the paper needs to inclue a minimum of four souces, and should come from books, professional journals, and articles. I can’t use
wikipedia. Thanks
