The piece is based on the story, black swan. Piano is the final instrumentation. The audience should listen for the story being told.

My composition tells a story. I created multiple different feelings throughout my piece. It grows and changes through the piece. To achieve this effect, i used different techniques and sounds. I feel confident in my piece and i have worked hard. I feel i am ready to share it.

I have added new musical elements to my piece such as piano. the form of my piece is gradual. I feel i need to get even more confident in my piece before performing it.

My interpretation of the inspiring art piece by C.M. Cooper named Black Swan has helped me create a composition to explain the painting. This piece was inspired by impressionism which was created in the 1860's. Impressionism is the technique involving small brushstrokes. These paintings seek to re-create the artist's general impression of a scene. Cooper's piece stood out to me because I am a ballet dancer. The piece seems to have a lot of meaning behind it. "Black Swan" consists of many different techniques and elements to convey the feeling of the artwork and the story behind it. Some element/techniques used in this piece are the light and darkness. You can observe many different areas throughout the art work that consist of very light areas and very dark. The purpose of using this technique is to relate it to the actual story of the black swan. The story is about a ballerina whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. Nina's dance company is in search for a new prima ballerina. Nina believed she was guaranteed to be chosen until struck with heavy competition from the new ballerina, Lily. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As rivalry between the two dancers transforms into a twisted friendship, Nina's dark side begins to emerge. Nina develops a dark side to her. This affects her mental wellbeing and Nina becomes a very dark person. When I observe this piece I see a sweet girl who has a dark side to her. She is in the dance studio late, in pain, working extremely hard to prove to herself she can become a better dancer. My composition relates to this artwork because it beings slow, light, and sweet. The piece then develops and becomes faster when the ballerina is dancing. Then the ending is tragic and dark. Similar to the story and painting 'Black Swan".

When composing the song, I focused on the story behind the artwork. This helped me interpret how she is feeling. I also used outside knowledge of the black swan when creating my piece. I know how the story develops so I related that to my music. I use the major scale when she is calm, happy, content and the minor when she is scared, upset, or fighting. This helps convey her feelings and emotions through the music. I would consider my piece a classical genre. I tried to incorporate ballet music in my music which is classical so my piece sounds a lot like classical music.

I chose impressionism as my movement. I find impressionism very interesting.
The piece of art consists of a ballerina inside of a chicken egg. This shows she has not yet developed nor reached her full potential. The story behind the art work is what I find interesting. The music being played tells the story of the ballerina and the struggle she goes through as she turns into a chicken.
