What was Johann Sebastian Bach favorite food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bach was especially fond of potatoes, which he often ate in excess. This can be evidenced from the 59th Cantata, 'O Heil, mein leibe Kartoffel', BWV 622, in which thinly-veiled references to his penchant for the tuber can be discerned.

What are the lyrics to the owls by peter jenkyns?

Asked by Wiki User

In the moonlit wood where he old tree stood with its trunk all hollow and its twisted limb, alone I crept with the sky all swept by the flying clouds with their silver rims. On velvet wings I saw him glide, and with a haunted voice he cried: To-whoo, To-whoo, To-whoo

From tree near by with its arms in the sky as I looked for his mate in the woody dark, tiny squeaks from hungry beaks betrayed the nest deep in the bark. An answer came from the leafy hide , as with a haunted voice she cried: To-whoo, To-whoo, To-whoo

The murder foul, the hunting owl, then swooped and snatched his furry pray; rose in the air and flew to where his mate was still and silver grey, The young were fed and the owls with pride triumphantly together cried: To-whoo, To-whoo, To-whoo_______________________

What is the form of the first movement in a symphony?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Very commonly, the first movement of a symphony appears in Sonata form. If it is one of the later symphonies (Mozart, for example), it will likely have 4 movements. The second would be some type of slow movement in a binary form. The 3rd would often be a minuet and trio, followed by a closing movement in Sonata form again.

Which is the largest out of the violin viola cello and bass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Truthfully I would say that bass is the best instrument. That is if you are looking for a challenge. It is a very large instrument with a large range of notes that can range from a low E (or B if you have a extension or five string bass) to a high G or D. If you want a beautiful instrument you can play cello or violin. But unless you are amazing at either of those instruments you are not going to get very far. There is much less competition if you play bass. This is a completely biased opinion. I hope your instrument searching goes well!

Did Tchaikovsky compose Peter and the Wolf?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to author Ian MacDonald, in his essay "Prokofiev, Prisoner of the State," Sergey Prokofiev decided to compose a neutral children's piece as a move to avoid further political condemnation (from Soviet authorities) of his works. Peter and the Wolf -- which, notably, features Peter as a Young Pioneer (a member of the Soviet youth organization) -- was the result of this effort.

The classical concerto differs from the symphony in that it does not have a movement that the symphony has. What is that movement?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As a general rule, a classical symphony has four movements and a classical concerto has three. The nature of their respective first movements and finales is likely to be similar in each case. Each genre will also usually have a slower, more lyrical movement. What a symphony will also have, and a concerto will lack, is a movement cast as a minuet and trio or scherzo and trio.
