There is something of Bach about the fortspinnung-like fourth piece, a Moderato in C sharp minor. 2, as a test case, this paper offers a view which resists the pressure to explain idiosyncratic musical events as contributing to a greater whole, demonstrating that conceptions of unity need not accompany tonal hierarchical systems; it also shows how Schubert's use of tonality and The third subphrase begins, then, not merely as an echo, but in a sense as the echo of an echo. But then, in a sudden moment of harmonic redirection and metrical clarification, a single measure-long subphrase tonicizes major (m.15).13 Although no harmonic event before measure 15 prefigures this arrival in the subdominant, the immediately following cadence confirms this unorthodox tonal goal, repeating as its initiating bass-line a chromatic descent from to that, as an inner-voice motion in measures 13-15, linked the two preceding subphrases. McCreless' analysis, very perceptive about the rhythmic and tonal issues it addresses, hardly addresses the five-part form of the piece at all. Each moment-to-moment is as important as the larger relationship of the Moments Musicaux one to the other. 1," 141-201. (ii) The A section of the second Moment Musical not only begins tentatively; it ends tentatively, too, happening seemingly by accident upon a -major cadence that leaves it open and incomplete. The ending of the last Moment Musical turns suddenly minor, as if it cannot hold on the hope that the major mode embodies (Ex.

Though the memory sought remains at first unconscious, it is present from the beginning as a past that underlies the opening music. Six moments musicaux, D. 780 ( Op.

Schubert's recourse to contrapuntal inversion here also subverts the echoing effect through which the final subphrase emerged before (cf.

This place, this crossroads at measure 56, must be timed just right: The juxtaposition of extreme feelings must be handled without a hint of sentimentality or a giving-away of intention before the moment of head-and-heart-spinning trauma. Qty . Schachter's interpretation of the chord in measure 11 depends as fundamentally on the voice-leading of that measure as on the measures that surround it. If you, too, have neglected them, or overlooked them entirely until now, I highly recommend (re)acquainting yourself with this fabulous music.

Thus one might take the term "moment musical" to characterize several types of special, transformative or conflictual moments in Schubert's music, moments that figure prominently in every one of the pieces bearing this title. It first proceeds similarly to the second phrase-group of the first A section, up through the one-measure subphrase tonicizing major (cf. . "9 But also central to my conception of the piece is a contrast that I would like to characterize more fully than Moss, Schachter or Rothgeb chose to do in their analyses: the music of the B section progresses in a normative melodic and harmonic way from one phrase to the next. | Moment musical D. 780 No. But with few notes and the simplicity of a song Schubert delivers wisdom and depth. 2 Waltz in Vivace F major, Op.

During the codetta that precedes the trio section, Schubert teases with hints of A major/E major, but, in a startling move, snaps straight into A flat minor -- and since this opening section of music is repeated verbatim after the trio, it is in this bleakest of minor modes that the piece ends. Chapter 32 - Sets and Set Classes Sudden as it seems, this moment of darkening, this negative transformation arises from earlier events in the piece. Remaining fundamentally within the tonic harmony, this second subphrase smooths out the rhythmic and melodic contours of the opening one: a second flowing triplet in measure 3 replaces the angular dotted rhythm at the end of measure 1; a repetition of g1 at measure 4 replaces the striking leap up to e2 of measure 2; and a falling figure in eighth notes, filling in a third, takes the place of the tense, agogically stressed half-note of the opening motto.
