Introduction Congratulations!! All of your work has finally paid off! For the longest time you have been working hard to make your way up the ladder and you have finally done it. You have been a journalist for one of the nation’s largest newspapers for 15 years and your editor has finally asked you to do a front page cover story! He has asked you to do an article on a famous Romantic composer who recently finished and premiered a work during the Romantic time period. Research the composer and write a newspaper article/music review on them and the influence of their piece on the Romantic time period.

The Task Your editor has asked you to write this article, where do you start?! You will create a professional looking front page newspaper article discussing your composer and their work. To do this you must gather research on your composer by: - Researching biographical information. - Researching information on their most influential pieces - Researching information on the piece that you chose to write about. - Researching the styles in which the piece was written (Concerto, Symphony, Sonata, etc…) and its components. Make sure your newspaper looks professional and realistic including a font section, titles, side article teasers, DATE (relevant to the time you are in) and your name as writer for the article. Have fun and learn!! Be sure to ask your editor (Me) questions if needed. At the end of the project the final product will be shown and presented to the class. You will read other newspaper findings and share yours as well.

The Process Each student will pick a Robert or Clara Schumann composition from the list below (or if there is another piece you’d like to do, clear it with Mrs. Thurston). Research the composer’s background information and gather relevant biographical information. Information should include date written, why written (background on the process and reasoning behind writing the piece), was there anything that influenced the writing of the piece (historical, economical, etc…), and why this impacted the Romantic time period and was such a popular piece. After gathering this information, write an article for your newspaper about the composer and this work. Include biographical information, the piece you chose, information about the piece, how it impacted this time period and any other information you feel contributes to your article. Also include what your personal opinion is on the piece. Did you like it? Do you think it will become a hit? Do you recommend it to your readers? Think of it as a music review (remember the New Zeitschrift?) Your final product should look like an official newspaper cover. Be sure to include a newspaper title (New York Times, Coloradoan, etc…), an article title, date (relevant to time period your in, and include in the article the dates of your composer and piece), editor name, your name, and anything else you wish to decorate it with (side teasers, weather, etc…). Be creative in your presentation of the article and the paper. Robert Schumann Papillons Dichterliebe Symphony No. 3 Vom Pagen und die Konichstochter Symphony No. 4 Clara Schumann Piano Trio in Gm Scherzo, Op. 10 Drei Gemitsche Chore, 1-3
