Q

Rondo and how each part ends

A

Can be 5 or 7 part
ABACA(BA)
WHAT MAKES RONDO A RONDO- A is the refrain (the same, home key every time)
A ends with PAC in home key
B ends in HC or PAC in new key
B is more simple, stable, shorter than C
First B related key, second home key

Q

Exposition

A

Repeated- begins in tonic ends in secondary key
Primary theme (ends in home key)
Transition (starts in tonic ends with HC in new key. May begin like primary, but modulates)
Medial caesura
Secondary theme (ends with PAC in new key) (new material or variant)
Closing (PAC, no new material)

Q

Which sections of sonata form are harmonically unstable

A

X-section and transitions

29
Q

Which section have the harmonic value of major V in sonata form

A

Expo- 2nd tonal area and closing

30
Q

What are the differences between ternary and rounded binary

A

Ternary: sections are closed off/have a clear closing
Rounded binary: sections bleed into each other and share material

31
Q

Second tonal area harmonic value

A

Major V in major keys
And major III in minor

32
Q

What is the harmonic value of a closing

A

Major V in major
Major III in minor

33
Q

What is the harmonic value of the x-section

A

Harmonically unstable

34
Q

What is the harmonic value of a retransition

A

Dominant prolongation more often than not

35
Q

What is the harmonic value of a recap

A

Major or minor tonic
Includes 1TA, Altered transition, 2TA, and closing

36
Q

What is the (almost equivalent) of a sonata recap and why not completely

A

Rounding in binary form.
In sonata you use the entire A section. Much more hardcore

37
Q

Types of chromatic modulation

A

Enharmonically reinterpreted o7, common tone modulation, pivot chord modulation, chromatic sequence

38
Q

Compound forms

A

Each section has embedded binary form
Compound ternary most common, but occasional rondo

39
Q

What are the two kinds of names and variations?

A

Sectional and continuous

40
Q

Sectional theme variations

A

Each section can be played as a it’s own thing

41
Q

Continuous theme variations 

A

One piece with fixed/ostinatoelement. Often baseline and or harmonic Progressions 

42
Q

Harmonically fixed

A

Under sectional? Same harmonic structure. Phrase, cadence , Modulation, function 

43
Q

Formally fixed

A

Rounded binary, continuous cadence

44
Q

Ostinato

A

Repeated pitch (pattern) often baseline

45
Q

Ground base

A

Baseline repeats throughout

46
Q

Chaconne

A

Progressions stays

47
Q

Passacaglia

A

Progression, line, bass, stays

48
Q

Hemiola

A

2 meters at the same time

49
Q

Polyrhythm

A

Two divisions of meter rhythm at once

50
Q

Contrapuntal

A

More focus on melody, then chords and harmony

51
Q

What are the three parts to a fugue?

A

Expo, development, And some sort of reference to subject near the end

52
Q

Exposition

A

All subjects and answers are presented. Subject, optional counter subject, answe

53
Q

Development

A

Avoid tonic

54
Q

Subject

A

Melodic line Carried throughout the piece - usually tonic 

55
Q

Answer

A

Dominant, response

56
Q

Counter subject

A

Accompaniment roll, appears consistently alongside subject 

57
Q

What is an episode?

A

Only area of a fugue after expo that does not contain the subject, variety, moving one key to another.  Derives material from subject, counter, subject, answer, and other episodes . Textures thinner less voices

58
Q

Middle entries

A

Mostly three part design

59
Q

Sogetto in reference to subject

A

No longer than three measures, simple, square cut

60
Q

Andamento

A

More flowy, often two ideas
Large organ fugues

61

Extension of subject to get back to tonic

62

Subject, and answer overlap more than a couple of notes

63
Q

Link

A

Short section in expo that does not have subject or answer

64
Q

Dom pedal

A

Returns to tonic

65
Q

Tonic pedal

A

Returns to dom

66
Q

Real

A

Intervallically identical

67
Q

Tonal answer

A

Answer is altered slightly. Often one note to fit with counterpoint

68
Q

Real/authentic answer

A

Transposition is exact. Interval for interval….minus quality?
