Abstract | I based my departmental honors project on my senior recital that I performed in the fall semester of my senior year. For my senior recital, I picked four selections reflecting three different time periods: Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary. In my document I discuss how I practiced and prepared myself for my senior recital both mentally and physically.I analyzed all the movements of the pieces that I performed. I learned that analyzing the form of each piece was essential to breaking down a piece during my practice sessions and to directing my performance decisions. |
