I'm working on a writing multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. Briefly describe the venue for this event. Who was/were the musician/musicians involved? What instrument(s) were used? [Note: you don't need to list all of the instruments and players if it's a large ensemble like an orchestra or band.]

???

2. Choose two of the works you heard. Briefly describe the style, form, subject-matter, and other elements we’ve discussed in class. (That is, be sure to use the terminology we’ve laid out for describing music.) Compare the two works.

???

3. Who were the composers? Was there a particular meaning implied?

???

4. Were these, in your opinion, effective works? Pretend you are writing a review for the campus newspaper or describing the concert to a friend. (This is partly subjective, but you should be basing your opinion on your analysis in Nos. 2 and 3 above, and our class discussions.)

???

5. Finally, what is your personal reaction to these works? Why?
