Analysis
When listening to music, the instruments in particular, there is often a type of emotion they're trying to portray and send a message through the music they create. Examples are the emotion, anger, the composition will be loud and be chords and keys that give off angry sounds, they may play a chord in a way that is angry by pressing harder onto the keys if they're playing piano, the composition would also be of a fast pace. However, if they were trying to give off the emotion, sadness, then the composition would be slower and be played with minor keys softly if played on a piano. Comparing the two, there is a great contrast in speed, technique of playing and the notes used in the compositions. Also, when a song is sad this is what the composert intended for it to sound like so the way this it is performed portrays a sad emotion. In conclusions, composers write compositions to make us think of different characteristics by technique of playing, hard or soft, notes, minor or major, speed, fast or slow and at times, the instruments used, pianos are usually used for soft, more classical pieces whereas electric guitars would be for pieces that are loud and anger fuelled.
