We learned about this piece at Long Beach City College - TopicsExpress



          

We learned about this piece at Long Beach City College (California) in Music Appreciation in summer 1988, taught by the outstanding Dr. Michael Pappone (1925-1997), who had taught at Millikan High School and Long Beach City College and conducted at Arrowbear Music Camp. Dr. Pappone was an outstanding human being as well as music educator. Music appreciation is not the same as music history. Dr. Pappones music appreciation class at LBCC made my music history class at Oberlin Conservatory of Music seem very dry, almost as dry as those Irish immigration books I had to read for US Immigration History. We learned about this piece in context of Polish nationalist pride. I still remember it 27 years later. Yes, I have a memory like an elephant! To make a short story long. I specialize in this skill. In fact, I have a doctorate in expanding one sentence into a PhD dissertation. But I do not work for free.
