Compare Virgil’s Aeneid to Homer’s Iliad. In what ways are they similar and in what ways are they not? How does Homer’s “agenda” differ from that of Virgil? For comparison, cite examples from the excerpts of the Iliad and the Aeneid in our book.

This I Believe: This assignment was adapted from a program on NPR called “This I Believe.” ”The world is tearing itself up because of one thing, and that is belief. The idea is that rather than screaming about it, we ought to just listen. . . . It rather idealistically and rather quietly suggests another way to talk to each other.”—Jay Allison, Series Host and Co-Producer.

As you watch the video link at the end of this assignment of Mitsuko Uchida performing W.A. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor for piano and orchestra, K. 466, consider how the work would have been performed in Mozart’s own time — with the composer himself at the piano. We have learned that music in the Baroque era was conducted from the harpsichord. Music in the Classical period was conducted by the concertmaster (first violin, first chair), although with the tendency of older traditions not to be given up entirely in the face of new once, Mozart very likely conducted this work from the keyboard, just as Ms. Uchida does in this video.
