"How does Brahms use melody, harmony and rhythm in his Piano Quartet Op. 26 to create transitional devices by which he moves through unrelated keys?"
That's my assignment question. Two thousand words' worth of *drivel* on a piece I have very little care for. Don't get me wrong, Brahms was a legend of his time, but I just have no patience for musical analysis. Technique should be secondary to emotion and passion when it comes to music. A lot like lovemaking, really. But who am I kidding, I have trouble understanding emotion anyway.
What can I tell you about me in the meantime? Hmmm. I'm in a band. We're called the Rawdevns. And I bet you can't guess what that word means.

We play a hybrid of Rancid, NOFX, Guns-N-Roses, Deftones, Jack Johnson, the Sex Pistols, and basically anything that catches our ear. It's punk rock of a sort, but it's got more finesse and polish than your average angry teenage moshing band. I like the fact that we pay attention to the finer details of a song. Maybe one day you'll hear us. I play a Cort Curbow 5-string bass, an Epiphone Les Paul guitar, and I sing backing vocals. Makes it all quite fun.
I can't think of anything else to say. On here or on my assignment. Think I'll go to bed.
