Today we are mainly talking about the music of the Baroque period. Musical phrases in the Baroque period varied in length and breath, and whether it was vocal music or instrumental music, the melodies were unprecedentedly gorgeous and complex, with quite a lot of decorative tones and progressive sound patterns. Like Renaissance melodies, the progression of the tune often has a figurative, symbolic character. What is striking is the clear harmonic nature of the melody. The main figure is Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach (March 21, 1685 - July 28, 1750), a German composer during the Baroque period, an outstanding organ, violin, and harpsichord Performer, as famous as composers Handel and Telemann. Bach is generally regarded as one of the most important composers in the history of music. His creations used rich German musical styles and skilled polyphonic techniques. His music integrates the essence of Baroque music style. He is honored as the father of Western "modern music" and one of the most important figures in the history of Western culture. His representative works include "Well-Tempered Piano Collection", "Brandenburg Concerto", "Goldberg Variations", "Matthew Passion", "A Large Number of Cantatas", etc. He died on July 28, 1750 at the age of 65 years old. Professor Heidi Sarange told us about the role of inflections in songs and the characteristics of music in the Baroque period. The students present were very impressed.

In the afternoon of that day, Professor Pan Xun’s piano master class was held in piano room 201. Six students from our department *** are fortunate enough to receive guidance from professors. The works taught in the master class mainly include freshmen Chen Qi and Zhang Rong, who performed Liszt's "Petrarch Sonnet No. 104" and Debussy's "Prelude for Piano" respectively. Sophomores Liu Jiaying, Su Hong, and Zou Huimin played Liszt's virtuosic etude "Hunting", Zhang Shuai's "Prelude OP.18NO.3" and Schubert's "Sonata D845" respectively. Dashanjiang Mengjia's "Music Poems" by Zhang Chao. After receiving the guidance of Professor Pan Xun, the students gained a deeper understanding of the music and different processing methods, which also allowed the students to make more progress in their playing.
