First Movement: Comparisons Flashcards
In the exposition, how does the first set of antecedent and consequent phrasing (bars 17-24) compare to the following close repetition (bars 25-31)?
The motif of scalic minums diatonically descending (bars 21-22) is inverted, so that they are now ascending (bars 29-31).
In the exposition, how does the second subject differ from the first subject (due to the monothematicism)?
Where before the texture was a string quartet, there is now the addition of the flute and oboe (as well as the bassoon in bars 69-72). The rearrangement of material in terms of instrumentation creates contrast in sonority.
In the second consequent and antecedent phrasing in the second subject, the harmony becomes more chromatic and the texture includes antiphonal ideas, like imitative counterpoint.
The second subject, of course, is also now in the dominant key, as opposed to the tonic.
How do bars 17-31 (the opening lines of the exposition) compare to bars 193-208 (the opening of the recapitulation)?
The first eight bars of both are replicas (same key, same instrumentation, et cetera).
The next seven bars of each contrast to a degree. They have different instrumentation, where the recapitulation’s extract is played on the flutes and oboes, and the exposition’s stays in the string quartet texture.
The texture has has polyphonic elements, with antiphony established.
