You need to write about all the music on that program.
Torke, Michael – Telephone book:
Beethoven Clarinet Trio in B-Flat Major, Opus1:
Franck -Violin Sonata:
The report needs to be written like an essay. No bullet points. They must be a minimum of 3 pages
I would like you to create a program that lists the titles of the pieces, the movements (if they have them), and the full name of the composers. This is in addition to this information being in the report. This information can easily be found on the internet. Here is an example of a basic listing in a program:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony #25
I. Allegro con brio
II. Andante
III. Menetto
IV. Allegro
Reports must be typed.Spelling and grammar will be considered.
