Blog 11 - A6 Proposal

For A6, I want to use my violin skills to present a kind of synopsis of the books that we've read this semester. I'll find composers whose lives are similar to a character in each of the books, and synthesize them to make a "Frankenstein" of a piece. I'll pull out the main melodies and compose transitions, but it will nonetheless be jagged and imperfect, like Frankenstein. Also the fact that I'm creating something out of parts that were already there makes the blur between creator and creation more intense. Also, it'll reflect how the themes of the semester pop up in Frankenstein. Ed -  I'd prefer to play live, but if you want me to record it that's fine too.

  1. Harry, can you do both? Perform live in class but also e-mail me a recording of it? Or perhaps you can make a video of you playing?
