Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany on 16th December, 1770 and he died in Vienna, Austria on 26th March 1827. He was a great composer, as well a distinguished pianist who composed 32 piano sonatas. One of the piano sonatas is this research topic. This research paper is written and designed for Piano Sonata No.8 in C minor, Op.13 "Pathetique" on today's Grand Piano. The objectives of this research paper are to examine the performance practice of Beethoven's early sonata on today's grand piano, to analyze the movements, to analyze the recording of pianists who played his piano sonata and whether they have interpreted it according to the score, as well to analyze which version or edition of the score is best used on today's grand piano.

This paper attempts to investigate the relationship among fingerprint patterns and pianists. From scholarly research, fingerprint patterns are grouped into three main families which are Whorl, Loops and Arch. All of them have special characteristics that show peoples' innate personalities. By rising attention of relation between people and job, the research found that certain people suit certain task better. The specific criteria they owned, such as attitude and skill, provoke success and contribution to the field they are involved. That is believes the situation is applicable in the music education. For the musician whose fingers are dominated mostly by Whorls, they may have stronger character while approaching something. For arch's dominated people, they tend to secure and avoid high risk job. This causes career branch in selecting work. Since personality influences human behavior, it is hoped that through examination of fingerprint patterns and calculation of fingerprint distribution patterns of pianists, a clear pictures that certain features of fingerprint reflect on talented pianists will be revealed.

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2005 in the subject Musicology, The University of Malaya (Music Department), course: Scholarly Research Paper, language: English, comment: The Research paper by two associate professors at University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia., abstract: In the early days of the pop industry, roles were more clearly defined. Songs were composed by songwriters, vocal and orchestral performances were extracted by producers, and the results recorded and mastered by audio engineers. The arranger's task was to translate the chords and melodies into an orchestral score, which could then be performed in one take by a team of musicians. Today, of course, the modern palette of sounds is no longer limited to classical instruments, and arranging is often an integral part of the songwriting and production process. An incredible array of synthesisers, samplers and other tools is now available to aid the creative process, and digital technology allows us to shuffle the entire sections of music around until a perfect format is achieved. In pop music, above all, the role of an arranger has merged with those of a musician, programmer, producer and writer, to become a vital part of the creative process. For me, arranging is primarily about creating moods. A good arrangement should hook the listener from the introduction, and hold their attention through the song as the parts and melodies develop. Sounds and chord structures should work together to surround the vocal and evoke the appropriate emotions. Everyone has their own way of achieving this, and there can never be an 'ultimate' arrangement for any track - experimentation is the key. Songs can evolve from a wide range of starting points. You may be working from a demo, with many of the parts already defined, or you may have just a title. Either way, it's good to start by taking an objective step back. Imagine how the song might sound on your car radio or your old radio at home. What sounds wo
