In this task, you will research more about the history of the composition you picked and the composer. i picked Antonín Dvořák’s Symphonie No.9, Béla Bartók’s Allegro Barbaro Sz.49 a. Give a brief biography of the composer. Include information about when the piece was written, the conductor’s thoughts, and possible quotes from the conductor.

b. Whom was it written for, and under what circumstance? Was the composition inspired or influenced by any earlier composition?

i would say the answer is b. zigzag lines of the leaves. i believe this is the answer because zigzag lines go in different direction while the other options like: the vertical lines of the trees, the dotted lines on the road, and the curved lines of the park benches go in one direction.

c, d, e, f, g, a, b, and c.

sometimes western music will also use solfege. the names of these are do ra me fa sol la si (or ti) and do.

to indicate a note a half step higher or lower then the original note, you would say c # (for a half a step above c) or bb (for half a step below b)
