Your second listening journal assignment is to write a three-to-five-page paper on a musical work of your choice. Please write about a piece that corresponds to the musical periods studied since our Midterm Exam (the Classical, Romantic and modern periods). Your paper should provide a musical analysis of your chosen piece using the established parameters designated in our course textbook and implemented in our class discussions. You have considerable flexibility regarding how you chose to approach your topic, but please provide an analysis that interrogates the elements of music and the five questions that provide the organizational foundation of our class discussions.
