Lesson 7


Analyze the following examples. Locate the cadences;

compare the phrases and define the degrees of Unity and of Variety

exhibited in the melody, or elsewhere; and mark such irregularities of

forms (or extensions) as may be found:--



Mendelssohn, Songs Without Words, No. 35, measures 5 1/2-13. (By 5 1/2

is meant the middle of the fifth measure, instead of its beginning.)



No. 45, first 8 meas
res.



No. 29, measures 4 1/2-12.



No. 14, 1-8.



No. 34, 1-10.



No. 18, 1-9; 10-17.



No. 9, 3 1/2-7.



No. 27, 5-12.



Schumann, op. 68, No. 3, measures 1-8; 9-16.



No. 5, measures 1-8; 9-16. (Do not overlook the preliminary tones

which precede the first measure.)



The first eight measures of Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 22, 23, 24,

26, 30, 32, 39. Also Nos. 13 and 28, first ten measures.



Beethoven, pianoforte sonatas: op. 2, No. 1, Adagio, measures 1-8.

Same sonata, third movement, Trio, measures 1-10.



Op. 2, No. 2, Largo, measures 1-8; also Scherzo, measures 1-8; also

Rondo, measures 1-8.



Op. 2, No. 3, measures 1-13; also Scherzo, measures 1-16; also last

movement, measures 1-8.



Op. 10, No. 1, Finale, measures 1-8; and measures 16 1/2-28.



Op. 10, No. 3, measures 1-10; also Largo, measures 1-9; 9 1/2-17;

also Menuetto, measures 1-16; also Rondo, measures 1-9.



Op. 14, No. 2, measures 1-8; also Andante, measures 1-8; also

Scherzo, measures 1-8.



After analyzing these examples, the student may venture to define the

periods in other compositions, classic or popular, especially such as

he may chance to be learning.












The processes of extension and development are applied to the period in

the same general manner as to the phrase. The results, however, are

broader; partly because every operation is performed on a

correspondingly larger scale, and partly because the resources of

technical manipulation increase, naturally, with the growth of the

thematic material.



Among the various methods adopted, there are three, each significant in

its own peculiar way, that provide sufficiently exhaustive directions

for the student of structural analysis.
