I chose Mozart's Concerto No 2 In D, K.314 Rondo for this assignment because I truly enjoyed listening to the piece and felt a story being told. There is no significant title to the piece, so the story I found was more a reflection of my mood and my own feelings. Mozart used many dynamic orchestra performances throughout the concerto, giving it an edge and challenge. The piece is eloquently crafted and rhythmically shaped. One of the most outstanding elements of this piece is the harmony created by the flute and the orchestra when they accompany each other with seeming flawlessness.

The piece began very soft and eloquently. The flute was enchanting with its wavering tones producing high and low sounds that blending rhythmically. The piece begins this way, very soft and subtle making the listener feel relaxed and calm. I though of soft pools of water with dancing butterflies nearby when the flute was downplayed to the strong and challenging orchestra which first began at .48 in the piece. The orchestra was bold and strong, combining sounds of violins, pianos, and more. The feeling then changed to that of a challenge. I began to see a larger animal, such as a menacing

I truly did enjoy this piece, as I was able to take the sounds and tune and put it to a vision that was representational of the piece. The piece didn't give the listener a title or an acknowledgment as to what it was portraying, so the thoughts and emotions that could incorporate it are endless. The piece was very methodical, rhythmically blending contrasting sounds to create a sharp, yet serene piece. I haven't listened to Mozart much before in the past, but with the experience I encountered with this piece, I will surly listen to his music again.

The orchestra then faded out as the flute began to play a solo piece at .59 seconds into the concerto. The flute was a bit rougher, sounding louder, as though it was proving something to the orchestra. I envisioned a battle. The sounds of the orchestra and the flute were symbolic of my tiger and butterfly, eyeing each other wondering who did not belong. The butterfly began dancing closer and closer to the tiger, as the flute played louder and the sounds were much more crisp and clear. The orchestra again chimed in after a few more seconds of the flute's session.
