Open Question: Musicians! How to analyze this circle of fifths progression? First good answer gets 10 points...! Please help?
I'm analyzing Dvorak's Sonatina for Violin in G Major, Op. 100 Movement 1 (Allegro Risoluto). And I'm completely thrown for a loop because I don't know how to analyze some of this stuff, specifically this one excerpt (measures 98-111, mostly). This is essentially what that excerpt looks like (I left out some rhythms and stuff but this is all the chord-tone notes that are there): http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e316/bfroggy326/dvorak2.jpg (The piece starts in G major so the key signature was 1 sharp, that's why it only has 1 sharp there even though I've analyzed it starting with B major.) Basically I've analyzed most of it using letter names for the chords. I need to somehow convert this into a roman numeral analysis. I don't know if it modulates to a different key or what, but the goal is definitely to move back to the home key of the piece (G major) which it does at the very end of the circle-of-fifths thing. I'm just confused because I would think that, for example, that first e minor chord would be a iv, but since we're in B major a iv doesn't exist. Is it just a borrowed chord and I should analyze it as a iv anyway, or is it some kind of secondary chord or what??? If anyone could help me convert these letters into roman numerals it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! Ohh, okay. Thanks! I got the analyzing done through measure 103 but once I get to the "g, C, F, bflat, Eb7, Ab, Ab7", I'm not sure what to do. What key do I analyze these in??? Wait, disregard what I just asked. Would it be right if I just put measures 104-105 in F major, and call the chords (g C F) ii - V - I ? And then put measures 106-108 in Db major, and call the bflat a ii/V, the Eb7 a V7/V, then the Ab a V (and the Ab42 a V7)? Then switch to G major?

Resolved Question: What is your opinion on this non-metal, classical new age band?
Okay, Okay. I actually don't know the genre but it's not metal. I had to put that it was non metal in the title so that other listeners would come too :P But Ashram is an Italian band that does instrumentals and have some songs with voices but they're all really pretty and I like them alot. I had them favorited on my Youtube and I don't ever remember finding them O_O 'tis fate I guess. I believe this band is more like Classical/New Age music Here is one of their instrumentals... II Mostro - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8fa7wSgfdk&feature=related Here is one with the vocals - Forgive Me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKClTwNUFb4&feature=related and another one...I've Lost Myself - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3wy2h0lyW0&feature=related I would appreciate if you would listen to one instrumental and one of the songs with the vocals at least. So that you can have more to judge on :) the lyrics for the song I've Lost Myself are right here since it is quite hard to understand the lyrics. Dreaming of my pain / way I'm like a rose on a thorn bush And I stay in the shade The desert can kill me Dreaming of my pain / way I'm like a rose on a thorn bush And I stay in the shade The desert can kill me And I forget your name As I've lost myself ... I feel the hole inside my soul.. Madscientist...I said the name of them is Ashram. Not Apocalyptica x_x and Ashram is not metal.

Open Question: I met the girl of my dreams, but will never see her again. How can I get over her?
While I was waiting around the airport last week between flights, I met a very attractive French girl in the airport bookstore. We talked for quite a while, and I found out she is a (classical) music student at the Paris Conservatory, which I found very interesting because I am hugely into classical music myself, though I am pursuing a degree in art history. Through conversation, we discovered we both shared the same interest in art, music, poetry, ballet, science, I mean it was like you name it and we felt the same way about it. She came across as really intelligent, too. She, like me, was also an atheist, which was simply the icing on the cake. Long story short, we had a wonderful time together, and she even gave me a peck on the cheek before catching her flight back to France. I haven't gotten her off my mind since that day. I tried to forget about her, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought I had quite possibly met the girl of my dreams. I mean, we exchanged e-mail addresses and have shared some messages with each other since then, but the prospect of us actually meeting again in the future is obviously just a pipe dream -- I mean, she lives in a different country, for gods sake. If I keep thinking about her, every woman I date in the future will seem like just a shadow of her. She made me feel amazing while I was with her. How can I move on? Any thoughts at all? I'm feeling really restless, and I'd appreciate any thoughts you have to offer. Thank you.
