Welcome

Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog. Most of you that are here probably didn't get to this page on accident, but, just in case you did, here's the rundown of what is going on:

I'm an NYU student pursuing an undergraduate degree in Music Technology and this is my blog for the final analyses for the Performing Arts in Western Civilization and my Theory III class. The subsequent posts will be regarding one of two short music works, "Traumerei" from Robert Schumann's "Kinderzsenen" and the single "Amazin' ft. Young Jeezy" off of Kanye West's new album "808's and Heartbreak."

Yes, these are two EXTREMELY different pieces in every sense but I am examining different areas in each of them. The Schumann piece will be analyzed for the Theory class and the West single will be presented through an eclectic analysis... STAY TUNED- this is something you will not want to miss.
