For this data visualization<\/a>, I used my group\u2019s data about the history of the NY Philharmonic. There is a lot going on in this dataset, so I wanted to create something that would help me grasp some trends in the data. I chose to look at the all composers whose pieces were part of a NY Philharmonic program over the 69 seasons that are contained within the dataset. I thought it would be interesting to see if certain composers were really popular at different times, or only at certain times, or whether there were a variety of composers that were used throughout the history.<\/p>\n

I created a line graph to help illustrate change over time. Each line in the graph corresponds to a composer that appeared in at least one program over the 69 seasons. I think it does a good job of showing which composers were more popular over others during a specific season and it also shows which composers were consistently popular. However, it is not particularly good at comparing popularity between seasons as not all seasons had the same number of programs or the same number of pieces in each program. This being said, the graph makes certain composers look extremely popular because there were many pieces by the composer performed in that season, however in these cases there were also a large number of pieces performed during that season in general. For example, comparing the 1894-985 season with the 1900-01 season, it appears that Wagner had an insane increase in popularity in 1900-01 compared with 1894-95, however, one must take into account the total number of pieces performed (of which there were significantly more in 1900-01). Between specific seasons, it would be more accurate to compare each composer\u2019s number of pieces to the total number performed.<\/p>\n

This data visualization is definitely helpful in showing popularity, which would be difficult to see in the data when it is in a table form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
