Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky is the most important and influential composer in the 20th century. Why did I say he was the most important and influential composer ? This is because is because that he tended to use the traditional musical forms concerto grosso, fugue, symphony frequently concealed a vein of intense emotion beneath a surface appearance of detachment or austerity, and often paid tribute to the music of earlier masters, for example J. S. Bach and Tchaikovsky.
One of his most famous music is called The Rite of Spring. Stravinsky's music is harmonically adventurous, with prominent use of dissonance for the purposes of color and musical energy. Rhythmically, it is similarly adventurous, a number of sections having constantly changing time signatures and off-beat accents.

Citizenship Reflection - Social Boundaries

We have learnt the effects of social boundaries, and in those five statements there is one of the statement that I have been experienced on. I was once that had been the most popular girl in the class, but then when the local girls came in our class, they went and say bad words behind our back, and I was pushed behind the class, that time I feel so uncomfortable of being pushed from the front of the class and back to the class. The thing that is missing in our school is because we don't really know each other. People had died is because other people think that person is the criminal or the bad guy, but really it is just an terrible accident. I think some time we respect adults, but they don't respect us is really true, cause some parents don't have jobs, and they just go to bar and drink for the whole day, when they are drunk they will start hit their child for no reasons. Parent have a lot of pressures from their job, and they will put their whole anger on their child, and we child don't have to be torture for no reasons. People see different ways is because everyone is different, and their ideas are different, everyone have different ways of looking at a thing and different ways of thinking.
