Criteria for evaluating music

Write a paragraph on what makes a piece of music good. Be sure to include both technical elements

(intonation, tempo, meter, rhythm, harmony, dynamics, articulation, instrumentation, togetherness,

accuracy, quality of performance) and emotional elements (how does the music speak to you, whether you

would like to hear this piece again, what kind of emotion did the piece evoke for you) in your paragraph.
