Chapter 5 written assignment

#3 part B

Excerpt 1.

The main four bar phrase is repeated four times, and is a self contained melody over the same
harmony underneath. It contains four symmetrical phrase groups. The section also ends on a strong V
chord.

Excerpt 2.

The Harmonic structure of the excerpt is weak, staying away from I IV and V. The section is
longer than other functional sections and functions on top of a pedal in each phrase.

Excerpt 3.

This excerpt has a uniform rhythmic structure differing by one beat in the top half of the score
and the bottom half, this along with the active rhythmic structure is a highlight of the transitional
function this excerpt serves.

Excerpt 4.

There is a change in tonality in this excerpt, along with a change in texture in the middle section.
There is a recall of material from earlier in the work in the middle section. That mark this as
parenthetical, before finally settling into a tonic chord at 313 with a closing function.

Excerpt 5

The first four measures of this piece are introductory, serving as an anchor point in the home
key before the melody is brought to the forefront serving as an introduction.
