The slow third movement shows that the movement is not circling back around, it is moving forward with no imposed form.  I chose the song "Csardas Gypsy Dance," performed by David Garrett because I feel that the way he performs this piece, he makes it his own. He slows down parts that arent originally slowed down, makes certain movements more sticcato than how they are in the original, and just makes the song his own version. There is a little bit of form, as it is not his own original song, but he performs it in such a way that makes it seem like he is not following a mold and making it his own.  ]]> 2018-04-22 22:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194717 madelynnpratt https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194782 This is an image from the album cover of "Piano Quintet no. 2, op. 115" by Gabriel Faure. ]]> 2018-04-22 22:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194782 madelynnpratt https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194796 This is the audio of the "Piano Quintet no. 2, op. 115" by Gabriel Faure, which is the song I picked from Ratiff's playlist. ]]> 2018-04-22 22:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194796 madelynnpratt https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194819 This is an image of David Garrett, the violinist who performed the song "Csardas Gypsy Dance."]]> 2018-04-22 22:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194819 madelynnpratt https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194847 This is the audio of David Garrett performing the song "Csardas Gypsy Dance."]]> 2018-04-22 22:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnpratt/41u7yi5lm8l0/wish/254194847
