Theory 2 - homework for Monday 11/19

Front of worksheet

Recordings for excerpts on six-four handout

Example 1. Beethoven, Symphony no. 3 in E-flat Major, op. 55, Second movement, Trio

Recording here.

Example 2. Mozart, Concerto for Horn and Orchestra in E-flat Major, K. 447, Second movement, mm. 1-8
Recording here.

For this and the following excerpt, the horn part is transposing (horn in E-flat). This means its written C sounds Eb, a major sixth lower. It's easiest if you imagine the horn is in bass clef, with the same key signature as the accompaniment.

Example 3. Mozart, Concerto for Horn and Orchestra in E-flat Major, K. 447, First movement, mm. 159-174 
Recording here.

Lowell Greer is playing a natural horn, without valves. There is a cadenza.

Example 4. Brahms, Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn, op. 56a, Theme (piano reduction)

Recording here.

This example contains several six-four chords, so don't think you're finished when you've found one. Keep looking and listening! 
Also, there's some chromaticism here, but you should still be able to understand the overall progression, key, etc
