Typical Characteristics |
Mozart K. 333 mvt. 1 |
Form
- Expo.
- Recap.
|
- Exposition, Development, Recapitulation
- Exposition usually repeated (classical)
- Dev-Recap could be repeated (clasical)
- P-T-S-K
- S is in the dominant or relative key in Expo, in tonic in the Recap
|
- Key of Bb Major
- Contains all typical formal units
- Modulates to F
- P is a 10 measure phrase group (4+6)
- S is a double parallel period
- Recap. S is in Bb Major
|
Introductions
|
- Preparation for main section, won't stand on it's own
- Could stand on it's own as a Prologue
- Possibility of thematic/motivic relationship to main themes...or not
- Generally in the primary key, could end on the dominant
|
|
Transitions
|
- Function is to modulate
- Often ends on dominant of new key
- May develop directly out of P material
- Could also be completely new material
- Transition in Recap presents a problem
- Goal is to modulate but Recap doesn't so alterations are usually made
|
- Transition between P and S
- Modulates to F Maj.
- Begins with material from P
- Retransition at the end of the Dev
- Extended dominant prolongation
- Recap trans. extended, no modulation
|
Development Sections
|
- May have several distinct sections
- Often includes a Retransition - generally dominant prolongation - to set up Recap
- Opportunity for composer to show off
- Wide variety of compositional/developmental techniques, almost anything is possible
- Typically tonally unstable, frequent modulations
- Motivically related to Exposition
|
- Divided into three clear sections
- Begins in F Major
- Begins with P motive
- 2nd section moves through 3 tonal areas
- 3rd section is almost entirely dominant prolongation (retrans.)
|
Coda
|
- Ending for the main sections
- Does not stand on it's own
- Could serve as an epilogue, on it's own
- Clear relationship to main themes or motives
- Could be develomental in nature (Beethoven)
- Possibility of new material
|
|
Analytical Considerations
|
- What is the tonal scheme, key relationships
- How does it fit (or not) the basic model
- Identifies primary themes and motives
- Modulation techniques in Expo
- Compare Recap to Expo - how does Recap solve the tonal problem
- Modulations, developmental techniques
- What is the design of the Coda - if present
