I recently received my Tutor report back on Assignment Two. My biggest fault with the assignment was probably that I didn’t quite go into enough detail from my research. I should have expanded more on the elements of impressionist music and how they work within that music. The bottom line is that I was too vague in my findings and the essay needed filling out in places.
Another observation is that I could have used more musical examples, especially in respect to how impressionist elements influenced later composers and styles. It is quite hard to write a more detailed account given the 1000 word limit but in retrospect I should have concentrated more on the music of Debussy and his successors and given more detailed descriptions of the music itself.
I think these comments are very constructive and will help me a great deal in my future projects and assignments.
Please see attached the Tutor Report.
