    This piece follows the expected model for music of its time period. It is written in classic and romantic era styles, featuring melodic repetition, a relatively simple harmonic structure as befits an introduction, and use of phrase structure and tension-building elements like secondary dominants to create drama. The last note is unexpectedly a II7 chord rather than the expected tonic, but this can be understood as setting up the key of the following rondo piece. Overall the piece closely follows the typical rondo form and stylistic features popular in the 18th century such as use of appoggiaturas.

    Essay:

    Introduction of Rondo Op.2 No.3 by Dinioso Aguado


    How does melodic repetition and harmonic structure to overall from of this peace?
    Melodic repetition from this piece is written clearly, first section, melodic note is written at
    the top note, in second section, it turns into base note in this piece. As this peace is
    introduction of Rondo, harmonic structure is not that intense, it means andante and a lot of
    tonic is in this piece.

    How does phrase structure connect to the larger form?


    Phrase of this piece start from auftakt until first section and after 2 first short phrase, longer
    phrase is coming to drive the piece dramatically. This phrase structure is continuing to middle
    section.

    Where are the moments of greatest tension and drama in this piece? What musical features
    contribute to the importance of those moments?
    I think it is bar 26 to 29, in this moments, rhythm has changed and become secondary
    dominant in bar 27, so it sounds dramatic, after that, it sounds quit calm down as Tonic, in
    bar 29, A is working as appoggiatura, and shows secondary dominant again. From 26 to 29,top
    note is always getting higher. I think that which become it sounds greatest tension and drama
    in this piece.

    What moments or features in the piece are the most surprising or unexpected? Why? Are
    these moments the most difficult to explain analytically?
    I think it is last note of this piece, normally, much of piece ends up with Tonic and quite slow
    down. But in this piece, last section is used Ⅱ7. So it sounds uncomfortable if this piece ends
    with this note. But this piece is introduction of Rond, looking at Rond op,2 no3, it starts from
    Tonic, this is a interpretation.

    How closely does the piece follow the expected model for music of its type and period?
    This piece was written by Dinioso Aguado (1784-1849), this era in which it was written was
    classic and romanticism. These eras was popular with secular music, rather than sacred music.
    This piece shows that features clearly. Even though it is introduction, sounds great and
    dramatic. Besides, this era is so popular with Rondo form, Rond piece is basically that which
    was established in the 18th century, is a composition consisting of a theme and an interjection,
    The piece is generally not long, and consists of a theme and insertions. The number of
    insertions is indeterminate. But this piece after the introduction, it going to be A→B→A→C
    →A. Thatʼs why itʼs typical Rond form. So this piece is almost following the background of
    model in the era. Besides, this piece is used so many appoggiatura, it also represents the
    model in this era.
