Critiques should be based on recital performances.
The critique should be 750–1000 words long.
The critique should include the following elements:
• The date, time and location of the recital
• The name of the performer
• The names and dates of the pieces performed, and the names of the composers who wrote
those pieces.
• Did any of the pieces have individual movements (smaller sections) listed on the program?
• What are the meanings of any titles of pieces or titles of movements?
• Compare the styles of the different pieces on the program. How do pieces written earlier in time sound different from pieces written later in time? You should talk about dynamics, tempo, and the ways in which the piano is used. Is the piano used to make song-like melodies, or is it being used for rhythmic effect? Are lots of notes used at the same time, or just a few? Are both rhythm and melody happening at the same time? Be sure to talk about all the pieces on the program.
• From your own knowledge of piano playing so far, describe the physical approach that the performer had to the piano. Describe the performer’s posture, movement, and overall use of their body.
• What parts of the recital did you really like? Why? Be sure to talk about aspects of the music here—talk about the pieces in terms of melody, rhythm, tempo, dynamics and so on. You can also talk about the performer’s interpretation.
• What parts of the recital did you enjoy less? Why? Again, be sure to give details about the music and the performer.
• One of the main jobs of a pianist is to make sure that the audience can hear the melody (when there is one)—even when there are lots of other things happening in the music. How did this pianist succeed in the pieces on this program?
