Beginnings and Endings

     Hi guys! I just wanted to talk a little about how the 4 pieces begun and ended. They all had the pattern of the end was grander or more majestic, except for the Adagio for Strings, which ended softly. The 2001: A Space Odyssey theme and the Adagio for Strings both started of softly and had louder parts in the middle. The Nutcracker and the Country Garden pieces both started loudly and suddenly and had a bouncy melody that as introduced in the first few bars. Those pieces also both ended loudly and majestically.
     I think that there are two main ways to begin: softly and getting louder, or Loudly and suddenly. There are also two ways to end: loudly and grandly, with a fermata on the last chord, or fading out to nothing.
I think I covered everything, so that's it.
