The recapitulation is begins at bar 156. Measure 156 to 170 is presents the same things from P in exposition. But at bar 168, the chord changed. The original one is G (V in c minor). But there, it goes to Ab, which is the V in Db. The bar 169 is the tonic in Db and the 170 goes to Bb, which is the V in Eb major. Than, measure 171 to 173 arise a new phrase in Eb major. At the end of the bar 173, it goes to the V of C major, because after that, it’s the transition part, which is start at I in C major. Measure 174 to 181 is same as the transition in exposition. From bar 182, the chord and key starts to change, but the basic structure is same as the one in exposition. The chord in bar 182 is VI in A minor. But in the exposition, it goes to the …show more content…
It back to the primary theme, but in Db major, which is a Neapolitan of the original C major. Bar 249 to 258 is uses the Primary theme. The key in this part is from Db major to Ab major to Bb minor and to C minor. Bar 258 has a Ger+6 chord, which leads to the V in C major in bar 259. Bar 260 has a transition chord G dim. (ex.)The C# will goes to D, and the Bb will goes to B in bar 261,and build the G chord.
From the measure 261, the Primary theme is developed for the left hand; the right hand played some new elements. This section is all in C major. Bar 261 to 264 as one phrase, and bar 265 to 268 is the sequence go down a step of the first phrase. From bar 269, the right hand use the motive 2 and 3, the left hand keeps the 16th notes accompaniment. The chord progression for these three bars is: ii-vii65 dim | vii43dim-vii7dim | iii6-viidim/ii |. From bar 272 to 276, there has an ascending scale that build the climax, which is A-B-C-D-E-F-G- G#-A. These ends at IV of C major in bar 276, and goes to V 6/4 in bar 278.The V 6/4 continue till bar 282. Bar 282 to 283 has a sustained V7, which makes a HC at bar 283.

    This piece begins with a tranquil woodwind choir with other instruments gradually joining in. The tempo is andante, as it is moderately slow, yet more of a simple pace. This work takes advantage of dynamics heavily, as it varies from pianissimo with a solo flute to a gorgeous and strong fortissimo dynamic of the whole ensemble. This piece also varies in texture quite a bit, as it alternates between monophonic soloist sections and grand homophonic sections of the whole band. Most of the melodic lines are smooth and legato, yet are disrupted by the pointed and staccato figures of the percussion section that underscore the longer lines of the wind instruments. The key of this piece is major, as it expresses feelings of joy and simple happiness. For a short bit, the piece does vary its texture to polyphonic, as the low brass section takes the melody while the woodwinds and upper brass fill in other parts on top of this. The piece finally concludes with a last grand statement of the theme at a fortissimo dynamic, giving it a sense of finality to the beautiful…

    The two themes, the inversion, and motifs are expanded and played upon. Also during the development, we encounter many different keys. Thru many chromatic sequences and patterns, we pass through D major, C# major, F# major, B major, e minor, a minor, f minor, and g minor. The build up into the recapitulation at measure one hundred ten features familiar passages and ideas. The recap leads us to the original horn fanfare, the inversion motif, and the original two themes, all seamlessly composed together with new and old material as we push our way to the end. Here at the end, the piece arrives back in the tonal center of C major and accelerando to unison rhythms to end out the…

    By measure 13, new material is presented signifying the transition, but instead, the P theme challenges the onset of the transition in measures 13-16. This can be heard in measures 14 and 16 as the cello, viola, and 2nd violin play chords together on beats one, two, and three while the 1st violin seems to argue with its own chord on beat four. Surprisingly, the P theme is victorious over this first attempt to herald in the S theme as P material continues in measures 16-25. In measure 25, there is a half cadence followed by a half rest signaling the presentation of the medial caesura. At a medial caesura coming from a C minor theme, one would expect either a half cadence in E-flat or G, however the half cadence here is in neither of these expected keys. Instead, the half cadence is in the original key of C. After the medial caesura, one would expect to hear the secondary theme, however, this is not exactly what happens. The material that follows is kind of a hybrid between transition material and medial caesura fill. The S theme is finally presented starting on the pick up to measure 34 and it is, thankfully, in E-flat major. This section demonstrates how dominant the minor mode really is. By not allowing the transition to take over properly and by commanding control of the only logical place for a half cadence followed by a medial caesura, the P theme forces the S theme to come in…

    This opens with the first subject of the exposition and uses two four bar phrases in the tonic key. This subject is answered by using a chain of suspensions found in the second violin part. These two phrases are then both repeated, with the repetition of the first phrase remaining completely unchanged but with the repetition of the second phrase rising instead of falling. The bridge passage that follows from this has a purpose to transport us to the dominant key. It begins using an orchestral tutti, meaning all together, where the orchestra uses a tonic pedal with chords I and IV, in both root positon and second inversion. The G# on the downbeat of bar 52, where underneath this we hear an E7 chord highlighting a subtle second inversion which moves to the first inversion halfway through the bar, pushing the music away from D major and closer to its dominant relation of A major. Thus, this highlights we have reached the transition within the exposition. The modulation to a new key is delicately introduced with the use of many accidental notes that hide the idea of a modulation but the use of E in the bass, being the dominant of our new key, gives us an understanding that the modulation is definitely happening, exactly as expected from a sonata from exposition. Towards the end of the passage Haydn expresses the structure of the passage by including a silence before the start of the second…

    In this example, the bass motion suggests a firm dominant tonic relationship resolving to G-sharp in measures 74 and 75. However, the scale that is shaped in the upper strings outlines B major. When placed below the stagnant trill on Bb in the clarinet, the suggestions of B major create the clashing half step dissonance theme observed earlier. Another issue that displays ambiguity with this cadence, is the V sonority is incomplete and missing an implied third. Rather than having the F double-sharp stressed in measure 74, a G-sharp is stressed instead. The end result is a five note tone cluster with B and B-flat being the center. Based off of the tension that is executed by the clarinet trill and the run in the upper strings, one can consider the B and B-flat is be encased within the texture, ultimately wanting to break out. Rather than falling onto either of these tonal centers, the harmony falls onto the G-sharp that is expected by the bass. If one considers the movement in building up to this climax in measure 73, they could consider the G-sharp minor harmony to be presented in second inversion, particularly with the triad being arpeggiated in the middle string voices. This motion undoubtedly suggests a cadential V64-53 movement going into measure 74. With this harmonic assertion in combination with the bass motion, no matter what lies above the D-sharp bass in measure 74, it is difficult to categorize in as anything other than a dominant. The complications that build above the bass act as a device for establishing a sense of forced…

    Slowly a crescendo builds and returns the “raging” notes. In the development there was a feeling of battling against reiterating the overall feeling of the piece itself. I feel a rising sensation of urgency and impatience creeping in, as the battle still does not have a victor. The development eventually leads to the next section.…

    The chords would have far leaps and was very relaxed. In this second section, B, we are thrown a lot of moments of conjunction within the chords. The bass line of the piano played with the left hand contains the majority of those conjunct chords. While the right hand plays more disjunct chords at the same time. This creates a more complex part in the song and builds up more emotion from it.…

    The musical equipment in the play are synchronized out to make a satisfying sound. The work starts with a backup with the string symphony, which bolsters the celesta song to make substance in the piece. The song line played by the celesta from bar 5, is the fundamental subject which is done until bar 19. As the group of onlookers, we hear the tune line emerge, as it is played with expression and differed elements, with the utilization of chromatic notes as well.…

    The UNL Symphonic Band concert, I Raise My Song To You, was on Tuesday, October 13. The first piece was the Overture to “Candide”. It was in a major mode and in triple meter. The piece started off with a quick paced forte dynamic with monophonic texture. In the beginning, brass instruments would play a melody and the percussion and woodwind instruments would play a melody in response. There is a decrescendo about halfway through, and the piccolo comes in quietly playing the high-pitched melody. Soon the piece has a crescendo and the instruments go from playing a monophonic texture to polyphony. There is a sudden but final sounding cadence created by the percussion at the end. The major mode and conjunct melody, in addition to the switches in dynamics and texture, causes a scurrying lighthearted feeling for the piece.…

    posth. 67, No. 2 begins with a double period (mm. 1-16) that briefly modulates in and out of the relative key of B-flat major. The first two measures use a v-i progression in g minor that is the mimicked with a modulated V-I in B-flat in measure three and four to finish the phrase with an IAC to solidify the beginning of the common double period structure. The motif then repeats itself over the v-i progression in g minor again, but changes from the original statement by staying in g minor and using a iv-i progression to provide a plagal cadence feeling by the repetition of the iv chord in mm.6-8. The first phrase of the consequent is parallel to the first phrase of the antecedent, but the difference is that it is over a v6 chord in measure nine, which created a HC to resolve the second phrase of the antecedent. The fourth phrase (mm. 13-16) mimics the beginning motif again but uses a descending melody and a PAC (g minor) in measure sixteen to complete the harmonic thought and overall, the double…

    Concerto No. 21 in C major for Piano and Orchestra, K.467, second movement is also known as “Elvira Madigan“; named from a Swedish film and was used at length on that sound track.
