Niccolò Paganini - Violin Concerto No. 2


Listen to the above violin concerto.  What do you think the story is behind the music?  We will be using this musical piece for an art activity. Do any of you play the violin or another instrument?

  1. This musicv sounds like something from a play, so I'm guessing it's a happy scene. It sounds like a dance almost so it might be a dance of some sort. I really have no idea.

    I used to play the guitar, but it hurt my fingers too much so I stopped. This year I got a piano for christmas and I'm starting lessons so I now I play the piano.

  2. The music is maybe from a dramatic love scene or from a dramaticly sad scene. It is quite emotional music. It would be a good song to dance to, but only if you are strong and very skilled at it.

    I have a piano at my house, and my sister was teaching me how to play it, but then I didn't like the way she was teaching me, so I quit very soon after I started.

  3. I seem to remember this music from somewhere... I love it! I think that this music would be played at consert or at a play. I agree with Katherine, this music would be nice to dance to!

    I also have a piano at my house, and I'm taking lessons. I'm learning Hedwig's theme from Harry Potter. I've been playing piano for 3 years!

  4. I think that the story is something to do with(Gag) romace(gag, gag) , mostly because this sounds like a ballroom dance for a prom's slow dance bit. and I think this may be from a long time ago, it sounds like a bethoven piece,or something...

    But what do I know about music :)

  5. I think the story behind this piece has to do with a ballroom, and (Not that I like this. D:) romance. I don't play an instrument, but I want to. ):

  6. This music sounds like it belongs in a broadway production or a live play. I think this because it is very classical and is happy. I don't like this music but the player is very talented.

    Yes, I play an instrument. I play the piano. I'm actually going for my grade 4 exam in June! :D
