In Variation I, Mozart embellishes the theme with mostly semitonal appoggiaturas. The harmony in the bass line remains the same as in theme, it changes only rhythmically. The character abruptly changes in bar 5 with a switch to forte. The right hand echoes the rising thirds from the original, but with appoggiaturas on the fourth quaver of bars 5 and 6. A trill is added in bar 7. The same technique used in bars 1-4 is used again until bar 17, where the texture goes back to that found in bars 5-8.

The fourth movement of Mahler’s ninth symphony has the key signature of D-flat, establishing a dark tone and ominous mood. It is structured in a five-part rondo, ABACA, with a coda. At the first A section, the violins play a descending melody, which is considered the molto adagio melody. Accompanying the molto adagio melody is a ground bass played by the celli and double basses.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a foremost nineteenth century composer. His works grew the Romantic repertoire: four symphonies, choral works including the German Requiem, many large and small ensemble works, piano and organ works, and folk song arrangements.

Schubert verified his extraordinary musicality while at the age of seventeen, he wrote one of the most groundbreaking and dynamic pieces in lieder history (Huizenga).

These three tropes are discussed in the light of being racist notions that are attached to the concept of aboriginality by the wider Australian society

My song, Yours or Mine, is a relatively simple song, with a common 4/4 time signature and a tempo around 100 bpm. It starts with an eight-bar instrumental introduction before moving into the actual song, which consists of three verses. Given this layout, the song most nearly fits into the simple verse form. The basic rhythm, 1, &, &, 3, 4, which permeates the song, is played over the first three bars in the phrase, as well as the first note in the fourth bar. Following this first note, there is silence
