Morgan-Variation I


This variation seems more driven than the original one. Although the original had many eighth notes, this one was almost entirely eighth notes in the top line. This, to me, makes it sound like it is almost faster than the previous. The chord progression is basically the same (because it is a variation), but with little differences. There are also quite a bit of chromatic notes in Variation I which makes it hard at times to analyze. The bass line is much less involved in var. I which also make analysis difficult; however, the progression, as mentioned before, is more or less the same as before. Form is also the same as before; the first part is played and repeated, then the second part is played and repeated.
