Q

Compare bars 1-8 with 9-16. Give 2 similarities and 2 differences. (4m)

Minuet section A + written out repeat

A

Bars 9-16 are a written out repeat of bars 1-8

Similarities:
- Both are 8 bar phrases
- Both phrases end on the tonic chord (but it is not typical for section A to end in the tonic)
-
Differences:
- Dynamics: Dynamics become p (piano) instead of f (forte)
- Rhythm: Repeated crotchets become minims
- Scoring: Lighter texture because some instruments drop out (no clarinets, bassoons, trumpets or timpani)

Q

Describe bars 53 to 64

Trio Section A

A

Contrast is created by
- New tonality
- Begins as if D minor, then Bb major chord in bar 55
- modulation Bb major is tertiary modulation/unrelated to tonic)
- Bb major key confirmed by perfect cadence in bars 57-58
- Abrupt dynamic contrast from forte to piano
- **New thematic material ** - rising 3rd and scalic quavers
- Legato scalic quavers accompanied by pizzicato strings
- Reduction in texture: only oboes, bassoons and strings

A

*52beat3-64 is Trio A whereas 78beat3-94 is Trio A’
* Same thematic/melodic material
* 52beat3-64 begins the same but ascending 3rd motif is now played in thirds
* 80beat3-84 beat 1 same harmony/chords as 55-58
* Initial idea developed with a brief tonicisation of Eb major in bars 86-87
* 53-64 ends with perfect cadence in F major whereas 79-94 ends with perfect cadence in Bb major

28
Q

What bar does the link section begin in?

A

Bar 94

29
Q

Explain how Haydn develops his opening material in section B of the Minuet

A

The opening material is:
o A 2 quaver anacrusis ascending in a tonic triad, then regular crotchets in ¾ time with an accent and change of harmony on the 3rd beat of the bar.
o The tonic key of D is clearly established by the ascending tonic triad and the use of chord I-IV harmony.
o The melody keeps returning to the dominant note of A in bars 1-4
o Antescedant and consequent phrase structure

∙In section B of the minuet, Haydn keeps the same rhythm and ascending triadic shape at the start, however the key is now B minor
∙ Instead of being based around the dominant note, the melody ascends up to high B at the start of the B section
∙ Haydn repeats the opening ascending triadic motif 7 times creating a hemiola effect in bars 20-24 bsn and cello part.
∙ Haydn returns to the opening section A theme from bar 34 beat 3 however he develops/decorates it by adding extra quavers e.g. violin bar 35.

30
Q

Describe Haydn’s use of harmony in bars 91-94. (2)

A
  • Bar 91 – 92 Eb pedal over which is a bdim chord leading to a C minor chord in first inversion (iib).
  • It is a perfect cadence in the key of Bb major, iib-ic-v-I
31
Q

Discuss Haydn’s use of tonality in the 3rd mv minuet and trio.

A
  • The minuet is in the key of D major. The trio is in Bb major.
  • These are unrelated keys (tertiary relationship).
  • This necessitates a link section at the end of the trio (bars 94-104) in order to modulate back to D major for the repeat of the minuet
  • He achieves the modulation via an augmented 6th chord in bar 99 which resolves to A major (the dominant).
  • This is strengthened by alternating it with G# diminished 7th chords – creating a dominant preparation section, which leads back to the minuet.
32
Q

Locate an augmented 6th chord between bars 94 and 104.

A

*bar 99 beat 1 *(Bb aug6)

33
Q

Locate a Phrygian cadence between bars 64 and 101

A

bar 99 beat 3 to bar 100

34
Q

What key does the link section end in?

A

D major

35
Q

What chord does A7 alternate with in bars 100-104 and what effect does this have?

A

A7 alternates with G#diminished 7 over a dominant pedal (A) which strengthens A as the dominant and prepares to modulate back to D major for the repeat of the minuet
