This is actually a fascinating question. I suppose that technically, it could be called polyphonic, since the left hand is technically playing a counter-melody throughout. However, the nature and feel of the left hand part still suggests a secondary, supportive role, with the right hand part clearly being the main focus melody. So I'd say that the texture qualifies as homophonic.

And, of course, those runs down where both hands are playing the same thing would be monophonic.

When was the renessance time period?

I am not sure. I learned in college that there were minor renessances preliminary to the Renaissance. I assume that they occurred more than once between 500-1500 AD. Perhaps the century leading to the Gothic period was a period of architectural renessance.

What did an apprentice for a master of renaissance painting do?

An apprentice's first tasks were humble: sweeping, running errands, preparing the wooden panels for painting, and grinding and mixing pigments. As the apprentice's skills grew, he would begin to learn from his master: drawing sketches, copying paintings, casting sculptures, and assisting in the simpler aspects of creating art works. The best students would assist the master with important commissions, often painting background and minor figures while the Master painted the main subjects. The few apprentices who showed amazing skill could eventually become masters themselves. A very few became greater artists than their masters. One legend tells of the young Leonardo da Vinci painting an angel so perfectly that his master Verrocchio broke his brushes in two and gave up painting forever in recognition of his pupil's superior abilities.

What are some of frederic Chopins compistions?

Frédéric Chopin is famous for his piano compositions. He wrote by far the most piano compositions as a composer. His etudes and preludes are very famous and acclaimed. He also wrote mazurkas, valses, sonatas, polonaises, nocturnes, scherzos and so forth. His most famous pieces are the revolutionary etude (op. 10 no. 12), ballade in g minor (op. 23) and nocturne posthume. His scherzos were very innovative, just like his preludes and etudes. (He was the first to compose a etude which was musically more demanding than technically demanding. His preludes are famous because they are all wonderful separate pieces, unlike other preludes (before Chopin) which needed be played before ('pre') another piece (for instance preludes and fugas by Bach)


What musical concept is illustrated in Etude in C Minor Op 10 No 12 Revolutionary?

Chopin's Revolutionary Etude (Op 12 No 12) was dedicated to his dear friend Franz Liszt, and was Chopin's interpretation of a piece with the feel and speed of Liszt, but with Chopin's grandiose melody.The opening bars are meant to be played extremely fast, and in the spirit of an Etude repeats a (mid high mid low) pattern of sound where both hands must keep this insane speed as the piece alternates the appassionata runs between them.To answer this question, the musical concept most obviously intended to be practiced is the consistent alternation between the treble and bass semiquavers (sixteenth notes) and the ability to voice a melody of chords over a incredibly fast string of sixteenth notes; ranging from Fortissimo to Pianissimo.The concepts most illustrated by the Chopin's 12th etude are speed, consistency, and voicing.
