Piano
The Rondo is a musical form characterized by the repetition of a melody interspersed with several other less prominent parts, often used in the final movements in sonatas, symphonies, and quartets. Formally, the main theme is labeled A, and parts labeled B, and C alternate with it to create the rondo form: ABACA. In the Rondo, the main theme must be repeated at least three times, thus at least two episodes of new material are required.
The Rondo indie works can also be added to the overture, intermediate transition, ending, etc., but the main part is the Rondo. The rondo is divided into two categories, one is a single revolving piece in each part, and the other is a compound rondo in each part. The rondo has a lively and enthusiastic character, which is suitable for a happy atmosphere and is mostly used for dance music. It can also be used as one of the major pieces of a large-scale work, and the last part of the general concerto uses a rondo.

Title: Descending Chromatic scale on keyboard
Description: A descending Chromatic scale (playing a semitone below it is pitch one note at a time on a 88 key keyboard which includes 7 octaves) played on a Yamaha PSR-E453 keyboard by me recorded and edited in a small bedroom with a midi (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) cable on Logic Pro X (music editing software). This sound was inspired by the discussion in class about discordance in music early African America studies and me relating it back to how a descending chromatic scale reflects back to the discordance that was used by many African Artists during the time but is now used and praised within Eurocentric music stylings.
Recording of my cousin playing the song "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven on the piano. Not a huge fan of classical music, but one of my favorite ever pieces by Beethoven. A very soothing song that I like to listen to while I do homework and while I relax. Very smooth and easy to listen to for any occasion.

The chosen piece requires quick and accurate finger movements. Recorded on a Zoom H4n Recorder. | Grabación del sonido de una estudiante de Duke University tocando un piano Steinway que es de llaves de madera en una sala de residencia.
