Analysis
This two-page segment is a movement from a larger composition.
Key = G Major, tempo = 3/8,
length = 71 bars or measures.
The Form may be: Theme 1, Transition, Theme 2, Theme 1, Theme 3 (or altered
theme 2), Coda
OR A , transition, B, A, C, Coda Identified on score.
The score is in G+ for 18 bars, there is a transition from bars 9-18, and
modulation to the Dominant, D+ from bar 19 - 71, A repeat sign at bar 71
indicates that the entire movement is to be repeated.
Leading Note s (Leading tones) are identified as LN in perfect cadences.
Theme 1; bars 1-8; The tonic, G+, is firmly established, followed by V b (1st
inversion) V7 to I (tonic) ending with a perfect cadence.
Transition; bars 9-18 form a transition to V of G+, = D+. All notation will be
written in the key of D+, D being the tonic, I.
The transition oscillates between I and V in G+, ending in V. I - V is a
imperfect cadence, but the ending on V establishes establishes the key of D+ for
the remainder of the piece.
Bars 11-16 are sequences of chromatic scalar notes with some non-chord
notes. (Sequences are 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 altered)
Theme 2; Bars 19-26 are sequences in 2-bar fragments, I-V, I-V7 with all
instruments (voices) contributing. Bars 27-34 essentially repeat 19-26 with violin
I only on alternate bars. The effect is to move the music along, ending in I-V-I
perfect cadence in bar 35.
Bar 35 is the final bar for the perfect cadence, but it is also the first bar of the
next phrase in which Theme 1 returns. Bars 35-42 are similar to theme 1; 1-8,
now in D+.
Bars 43-62: Theme 3 has many of the characteristics of Theme 2; scalar
fragments with chromatic non-chord notes and sequences.
Bars 43-48 are repeated as Bars 49-54 with sequences. Bars 53-55 end
with a perfect cadence, V-V7-I.
AT bar 55 the rhythm changes; It now appears that the last 8th note of each bar
is a pickup beat (anacrusis) for the next bar. Bars 56-59 are repeated, altered, in
63-63.
From bars 62-68 all four instruments (voices) play the same notes among 3
octaves.The closing bars are V, iii, IV V7, suspended V7 in bar 70, and I in bar
71. The Coda is from bars 63-71. !
