✿ 未来が見える : Flow© ✿


The smooth surface, Almost mirror like, Watching it unknowingly, I entered its flow, Unconsciously submerged by it, Fighting to grasp the sky, Before being pulled down again, Following it’s flow, Unable to turn back, The road is set; I shall head to sea, Can you see the future? It’s unpredictable ✿Oracl3✿

Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

三日二月二零零八年:日曜日

Today after class, i went to the MPO's chamber concert. Since both my parents haven't been there before, and since the tickets this round was cheap, (oni 10 bucks) i thought to ask them along, and they agreed.

melissa decided to join along for the chamber concert, it ended up with the four of us watching the chamber concert.

By the way, you are actually not allowed to take pictures in the hall, i got this picture from the internt..

so what did we listen to?

first we had the Franz Shubert's (1797-1828) Violin Sonata in D (D384). It was a Piano duet with the violin. this piece felt graceful and soothing. the piano player Kelly chung looked really young!! and the violin player yuki kawami was good too.. and she had a nice dress haha.. this piece had three movements in all.
*Allegro Molto
*Andante
*Allegro Vivace

Second perfromance was a piece from Johanne Brhams (1833-1897). it was a piano duet with a clarinet. the clarinet player phillip arkinstall was really amusing to watch, as he expressed himself, while playing.. it was cute haha... this piece had three movements as well
*Allegro Amabile
*Allegro Appassionato
*Andante con moto - Allegro

and the final performance was from a hungarian born composer, (Bartok's classmate apparently..) well now the place he is born is called lubjana, slovenia.. i think.. can't remember what i read on wikipedia... anyway i had never heard of this composer before..
Erno Dohnanyi's Serenade for String Trio in C (Op.10) there were five movements..
*Marcia (Allegro)
*Romanza (Adagio non Troppo)
*Scherzo (Vivace)
*Tema con varaizoni (Andante con Moto)
*Rondo

without huey this time.. i guess i really need to learn my music terms... but i roughly understood.. all the tunes were lively. so it was nice. the string trio (for the non music people, string trio means there is a violin, a viola and a cello.. 3 intruments)

outside while collecting our bag from the counter (bags either than hand bags are not allowed in the hall) i met yoong xiong... had a little chat, as melissa was tired, she left for home first, and my dad and i accompanied my mom to shop around for some clothes, came home empty handed to a heavy downpour, so we had dinner near the train station while waiting for the rain to abate.

in the end my conclusion is that i still prefer a full orchestra, but this chamber concert was and eye opener for me, to see how it was like, and the players weren't bad.. but next up on my list is the performance on the 23-24 of febuary where one of the composers that will be played will be holst's the planets.. :) i will see if i can make it.

actually on the 17th they have this sort of session to teach you how to appreciate the music that you like better.. hmm but i m wondering, how am i going to attend it... oh well.. we will play by ear...

and that's all for this post, i don't have much mood, maybe cause i am super tired. i had a long day out. morning classes than chamber concert, then shopping.. soooo tired...

that's all for now.. till another time...

About me

✿張らサヤカ✿
Location:
闇の世界,影の国

Its light is dimmed, The abandoned star, Fighting on, To shine once more, Reaching out to brighter lights, To place it back on the stage once more, To once again be the star she was, The path is rough, But she will make it there. Can you see the future? It’s unpredictable…
