Fanny Chen October 30‚ 2007 Beethoven’s 9th Symphony Movement 1 Analysis To assign the first movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony the sonata form would truly be a subjective judgment.I will first explain how this movement fits the sonata form; then I will discuss how it diverges from this form in rather fascinating ways. Broadly speaking‚ the first movement can be divided into three pieces‚ each beginning with a version of what I have denoted A_0‚ the introduction to the piece in which

My listening selection that I chose from the classical era was ¬¬¬Mozart’s Symphony #40 in G Minor K 550. This piece was composed in 1788. The tempo of this piece is molto allegro and the rhythms are fairly simple. Syncopation is used in this piece as well with homophonic texture. The piece is mainly quite with development to a louder section in the middle‚ but ends softly. The exposition of the piece demonstrates the quietness that is seen‚ but contains a small louder section. The recapitulation

Beethoven has penned such a work that offers an individual senses of both the darkness and lightness of musical emotion contained within several musical passages while maintaining the softness and power of light‚ melodic runs. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony truly captures his musical style and features four movements‚ each with their own individual musical message.

Symphony No. 94 in G “surprise” The music piece that I listened to was Symphony No. 94 in G “Surprise” by Joseph Hayden. This classical piece of music takes place in the classical period and starts off with a very slow tempo. The rhythm is a contagious pulsating rhythm which appears to have a metered beat that one can follow. It sounds like it would be 2 beats which is in duple meter. The main melody seems very short‚ defined and to the point. It is definitely staccato which seems short and

Although most of his work had been recognized by the music industry‚ it was his first symphony of the starting point in his career.

On February 10th I watched the Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven’s Fourth and Fifth symphonies at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Even though the musicians were in Michigan‚ I had the full experience right inside my dorm room. The webcast was a really interesting experience that I enjoyed. I think I may have even appreciated it more than the real thing. Although you cannot replace getting dressed up and going to a concert‚ I liked this webcast because the different camera angles provided
