milestone in music history because it was the first time when a composer “integrated a four-movement sonata into a single movement.” Schubert did so by matching the sequence of a traditional four-movement sonata (Allegro‚ Adagio‚ Scherzo‚ Finale) to one big sonata form (exposition‚ development‚ recapitulation‚ coda). This exploration opened a new era of composing romantic music because it created an expanded form with more freedom in theme. Composers in this way were granted more freedom to compose based

of structure‚ each has its own distinctions in terms of its mood‚ melody‚ and rhythm. Analyzing the structure of “Symphony No. 5” and “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” can reveal the similarities of the two pieces.

In my performance of Mozart’s sonata no. 12 movement II‚ I took inspiration from both Fazil Say and Maria Jao Pires’ performances of the piece. Each performance has different but not dissimilar interpretations and there is a sense of historical accuracy as well as innovation in both.

took the top note in the first half of bar 1‚ in this case a high G in the treble part‚ and the Bb in the top stave. This gave me my basis to start the rest of the reduction. I then worked out the chords in each bar‚ in wrote them out in roman numeral form‚ according to what key the each chord was in. For example‚ with a chord consisting of the notes G‚ Bb‚ and D‚ I wrote chord I in Gm and so on. I found that the key modulated several times during the piece‚ but the main area which the piece modulated

Sometimes it is forcefully stated in its "original" (or first) form like the 1st movement or very subtly within a running melody as in the 2nd movement. Now that I have actually listened to and analyzed the musical components of the entire symphony I can sympathize with people who feel the first movement is over played
