• What style of music did you see (classical, Broadway, rock, blues, etc.)?
• Think about the history of this style and trace its path back to the 19th century. What were the origins of this music? What part of the world did it come from? Who were the first innovators of this style?
• How many performers were there? What was the venue? Was the music the main focus, or was it incidental to some other event (e.g., film, play, visual art, etc.)?
• What was the instrumentation? Were there electric instruments? Was the instrumentation typical or unusual for this style of music? Describe the different instruments' role in the music.
• What type of percussion, if any, was there? Was it the dominant musical section? What kind of rhythm did the music have? Were there ostinatos? Was it indented for dance or for attentive listening?
• Would you consider the music mostly dissonant or mostly consonant? What gave you this impression? Was the harmony tonal or atonal? Try to describe the way in which harmony was used.
• So much of 20th-century music was a blend of styles. For example, film music would combine classical and rock influences, Broadway music would use elements from classical, blues, jazz, and rock style all at once, rock concerts incorporated music from around the world. Try to identify the separate musical influences in the music of the concert. Were the styles blended seamlessly, or did they feel more separate and fragmented? How did your knowledge of the many styles of 20th-century music affect your appreciation of the concert?
•   In addition to that portion, name one piece in particular that was interesting to you, and why you found it interesting. Be sure to note who the composer of the piece is, and include some basic biological details of that composer in your work.
