Week 6
Orchestral Instrumentation Chart / After selecting a musical piece, I analyzed the frequency and distribution of instruments used in its composition. When string instruments dominate, the piece tends to be more lyrical and emotional. When wind instruments are prominent, the piece carries more weight and gravitas. When percussion instruments are abundant, the piece is more rhythm-centered. I analyze compositions from this perspective. Since the atmosphere of a piece varies depending on which instruments are used, I aim to progressively develop appropriate graphs and visual representations that reflect these characteristics. Visual Approach: The graphic visualizes the progression of notes on a musical staff as a graph.
