For this listening experiment, I listened to Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 “Surprise”: 3rd movement. I listened to this composition a total of six times, through which I was exposed to the engaging orchestra for just shy of 30 minutes. During the deep listening period, I could start to understand the structure of the musical piece in a completely different way then I did previously. The 4/4 time signature became more relevant as well as I would know what would occur after every note, almost as if the composition was a short story that I knew the ending to, transitioning through each chapter in the piece with ease. The more I listened, each instrument from the orchestra became more vibrant and singular rather than sounding like one whole collective of sounds. I realized that throughout Haydn’s composition, the beginning melody repeats a total of six times. Although, throughout the sixth time I listened to the piece, it became quite repetitive. As I was listening to No. 94 “Surprise: 3rd movement, I could not stop thinking about the swaying melody and how it would fit perfectly with a dance number. Overall, I have never tried to clear my mind and be in touch with a song for that long of a period. It would be more than fair to say that I now have a deeper appreciation for this piece.
