Describe the ways in which Beethoven makes use of form and tonality in the first movement The first movement of Beethoven’s First Symphony is in sonata form. This means that the movement is divided into four sections, the first subject, the bridge, the second subject and the codetta. The movement starts off in the tonic key of C major. It remains in this key for a few bars until in changes to D minor in bar nineteen. The first subject starts at bar thirteen and ends at bar thirty-three on a perfect cadence in C major.

Bars 41-43 can be referred to as the Codetta which emphasises the tonic key. In Contrast to Corelli, Mozart wrote his Piano Sonata in sonata form. This form is split into the exposition (bars 1-63), development (63-93) and recapitulation (93-end). Both the exposition and recapitulation have smaller sections defined by themes and tonality. The Exposition begins with the first subject (bars 1-10) in b flat that ends on a perfect cadence.

Music Composition and Composer Paper Mary Wilson ARTS/340 July 29, 2014 Instructor Marva Ballard-Smoot Music Composition and Composer Paper Beethoven, Mozart, Michael Jackson, and Stevie Wonder are musical artist I enjoy listening too. Each of these artists are genius in their own right. I enjoy the piano, horns and violins that can be heard through their style of music. Each composer have their own brand of uniqueness, harmony, tone colors, textures and rhythm that is reflective in music. In Beethoven, Ninth Symphony, in the first movement it starts out slow, soft and low and then there is second movement which has such an outburst of energy and dramatic tone.

a fugue or sonata. However, this prelude is a stand alone composition. Chopin had been studying ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’ by J.S. Bach which contains 48 preludes and fugues – two in every major and minor key. The ‘Raindrop Prelude’ is one in a collection of 24 by Chopin.
Beethoven : Ludwig Von Beethoven is one of the most influential classical composers, an important figure in both classical and romantic music. Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770. He was brought up in a harsh environment, coping with his alcoholic father and supporting his mother and two younger brothers. At 17 he went to Vienna to play for Mozart, he was impressed to say “Keep an eye on him, he will make a noise in the world someday.” Later he went back to study with Haydn but things did not work out between those two because of his independent spirit. Beethoven didn’t have a real patron, but his music was paid for by the nobility of Vienna.
He would use his voice when talking with other people and they would write back in his books. His music was considered very off-beat, but the royalty still loved it. He once stated his music was for a later time. His final piece, The Ninth Symphony, is considered one of the greatest musical pieces of all time. Despite becoming deaf, Beethoven managed to maintain his excellent demeanor and popularity among the royal class.
This procedure results in an “end-weighted” structure. Another balladic aspect of the finale of Op. 58 involves thematic relations within the movement. The sudden dramatic shift associated with the appearance of the secondary theme and its sequential design suggest a “characterizing” function within the balladic narrative, while the presence of the dancelike leggiero third theme provides a temporary distraction from the intensity of the main story. A final reference to Chopin’s balladic model can be found in the coda of the movement, where the virtuosic passages resemble Chopin’s Ballades in the transformation of the thematic material to such an extent that the only remainders of the original themes occur in the accompanying figures.
