Melodic features of bars 1-8
Minuet Section A
- 8 bar phrase**
- motif x: two quaver anacrusis followed by two staccato crotchets**
- melody begins with ascending tonic triad
- accents on 3rd beat add rhythmic interest
- trill lasts for a whole bar (bar 7) followed by tonic chord in bar 8
Compare bars 1-8 with 9-16. Give 2 similarities and 2 differences. (4m)
Minuet section A + written out repeat
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)
Bars 1-8: harmony and tonality
Minuet section A
- D major
- motif X antecedent based over tonic pedal based on tonic and subdominant harmonies
- diminished touches through the use of chromatic auxiliary note bar 2 beat 3
- consequent phrase ends with perfect cadence in tonic
What bar does minuet section B start in?
Bar 17
Describe bars 17-20
Minuet section B
- Begins as opening with D major triadic motif then moves to B minor confirmed by perfect cadence in bar 19beat3-20

What key is the minuet in?
D major
Describe bars 20-26
Minuet section B

What is the form and key of the trio?
Rounded binary form
Bb major
What key is the trio in?
Bb major
What bars is Trio section A in?
Bars 53 to 64
Describe bars 53 to 64
Trio Section A
Contrast is created by

- Begins as if D minor, then Bb major chord in bar 55
- modulation Bb major is tertiary modulation/unrelated to tonic)
