Theory 4 - Homework for 10/1 (clarification)


This is a quick note to clarify the Music Theory 4 homework that’s due on Tuesday (October 1). You are to analyze each of the excerpts referred to on the packet called “Excerpts to study for introduction to modulation.” Some of the excerpts are printed in the packet, others in the textbook. Specifically, these are the excerpts to study:

W. Mozart, Piano Sonata K. 333, i, mm. 1-16. Example 20.2 in textbook
C. Schumann, “Ich stand in dunklen Träumen,” opening to m. 13. Example 20.4 in textbook
J. Haydn, String Quartet op. 64, no. 2, Menuetto, mm. 1-14. Example 20.8 in textbook
L. Beethoven, Piano Sonata op. 2, no. 1, Menuetto in packet
W. Mozart, Piano Sonata K. 284, iii, Theme in packet

Refer to my blog post from last week for links to recordings. Professor Roig-Francolí discusses some of the textbook examples in the book.

I will look at your annotations and/or give a mini-quiz covering this homework on Tuesday. For each example, you are to decide on the keys expressed (there will be at least two in each example, but some may have more than two keys). Additionally, be ready to explain (as best you can) how the composer gets from each key to the next for each excerpt.
