Question: Professor feedback

Your description on why the Nutcracker was composed was accurate.

On the identity of the musical elements that place the work in its particular time period was lacking. It seems that you talked around it, and never got to the details. I wanted you to describe the melody, harmony, texture, rhythm, tone color, and form of the piece. You did mention a bit of the tone color by mentioning the celeste. And you also mentioned the melody, but it was not described. When describing the melody, talk about the high notes, the low notes, the louds, the softs,

Also, when you chose the Nutcracker Suite, you chose to analyze all 6 songs from the Suite, not just the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Please add the musical elements and the 5 other songs to your final project.
