231 Words1 Page

In the Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 Movement 4, the use of theme and variation is also present. There are ten variations throughout the whole movement that are developed based on the main theme. The last section of the movement is the exact same repetition of the beginning section, which unifies the piece as a whole. Below are examples of the first four variations in the piece: The first theme is introduced in measure 12 in pizzicato by the strings. It is in an 8th measure phrasing. It is varied with the addition of the woodwind instruments in the offbeat. The next variation is played in measure 44 with rhythmic expansion of the theme to half and quarter notes.

    III) RECAPITULATION • In the recapitulation, much of the earlier music returns, with the exception of some passages that are omitted. • What happens in this particular Symphony during the recapitulation regarding the second theme is unique. Starting now in D Major, the second theme suddenly slips back into the expected tonic key in various sections (E.g. Bar 156) and then it even moves to the relative minor, as opposed to the -expected- parallel minor, rendering it rather peculiar in terms of tonal relations. • Following the full exposition of the second theme group, Brahms drives the movement to its conclusion through an extensive Coda, where the main theme together with its ‘complimentary’ motto-phrase, is given an immensely passionate utterance, until peacefully ending in F Major later.

    The first movement is a trumpet solo with band accompaniment, very melancholic and reflective. The second movement begins by setting up the intricate motif from the woodwinds. As more sections slowly build upon each other, the conflicting metric lines form something that can only be described as majestic. Mackey’s skillful manipulation of time signatures eventually leads into a large 5/4 section that features the low brass. This is a transitory section that leads to a much more flourishing 4/4 – 5/4 section in half time.

    Beethoven’s Fifth is revolutionary due to the fact that there is no melody with an accompaniment, which is atypical of the classical period. Instead, Beethoven introduces the idea of a motif, which is evidenced in the opening four bars of the piece. This motif is used as a structural device to bring coherence to the piece; “the constantly invoked connection between the two four-note units is crucial to the movement. ”(Steinberg, 1998). If it were not for this motif, then the piece would not have structural integrity.

    The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).

    "Where is the theme of this movement? " asks Andre Boucourechliev and answers "everywhere, because with Beethoven one should not seek the theme in the beginning or within a melodic form. The "theme" here is a rhythmical motion of two times three eights which emerges in all different ways, with changing relationships in the fields of harmony, melody, dynamics, durations, weight and even silences. Starting from this "cell" or this "matrix", the imagination escapes towards most distant universes and meets the most unexpected, the newest." Regarding the quoted idea of a "cell", one can point out the diminished-fourth interval so characteristic in the entire movement.

    First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form. The idea of this piece is mainly act as an introductory of a story because this piece is only an excerpt from a bigger orchestral performance. From what I have heard, the solo performance is mainly comprise of the woodwind instruments in part B that indicated the slight sign of relief and calmness. The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.
