The opening music finally no longer needs to search for a song in hidden or remote territory, but instead reaffirms in its last coda that it can become one itself. | Moment musical D. 780 No. The major mode of this cadence signals another quiet "moment musical," not only transforming the mood of this ending, but bringing it tonally closer to the major of the surrounding sections (in that major has six flats, closer to major's four than was minor's nine).

But then, in a sudden moment of harmonic redirection and metrical clarification, a single measure-long subphrase tonicizes major (m.15).13 Although no harmonic event before measure 15 prefigures this arrival in the subdominant, the immediately following cadence confirms this unorthodox tonal goal, repeating as its initiating bass-line a chromatic descent from to that, as an inner-voice motion in measures 13-15, linked the two preceding subphrases. But Schubert's changes to major sound more often like inner transformations than like mere changes of mood: instead of introducing new material in the major mode into a context of the minor, Schubert typically transforms the same or almost the same gestures that were minor into major, as if the minor-mode music wanted to be major all along and is finally allowed to be. But this coda does not end the piece: fast upon it comes a second B section (Ex. Measure 44 quietly echoes a -major semicadence before this distant-sounding region vanishes behind the return of major, linked to it not only by the melodic common tone, , but also by an implied chromatic ascent, mostly in the bass, connecting to as it moves from back up to this tonic pitch (see annotations in Ex.

Only then, in measure 7, does the melody suddenly take flight, rising in one quiet breath from 1 up to an ephemeral 2, and then falling back to its first harmonically supported cadence, on 2. Moderato (EU) This only partly prepared appearance of major is heard as a special moment, and the irregular subphrases that follow in this key (of 5, 3 and 3 measures respectively) have the effect of prolonging that moment, of hanging on it by suspending the normative temporal progression of the music in two- and four-bar units. If these readings could be taken together, their observations would combine to make of the second phrase a kind of microcosm, a large-scale echo, of the first. This place, this crossroads at measure 56, must be timed just right: The juxtaposition of extreme feelings must be handled without a hint of sentimentality or a giving-away of intention before the moment of head-and-heart-spinning trauma. 6 Allegretto in A-flat major cmdigital 9 years ago Classical Like Repost Share Copy Link More 1954, Last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:28, International Music Score Library Project, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Six_moments_musicaux_(Schubert)&oldid=1141929633, Allegro vivace in F minor (ends in F major), This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:28. 6, D. 780 4,371 views Jan 31, 2013 14 Dislike Share Save Austin Patty 3.45K subscribers We analyze the first.

But in spite of these continuities, the contrast between major and minor underscores how markedly this new music contrasts with the preceding music in texture, metrical clarity, and harmonic and melodic direction. Its metrical context dismantled in the preceding climax, this ostinato seems to recover to this music the natural soundsI have characterized them as cuckoo callsthat it imitates.

Thus measure 10 registers clearly as a semicadence in A minor; but its echo in measure 11, where a repeated g1 replaces the inner-voice progression a1-1, makes that semicadence and its tonality seem illusory in retrospect, because in that echo one is hearing the same musical shape again, but in rehearing it, hearing it as something different. Published in 1828, the year Schubert died, and written between 1823 and 1828, the six Moments Musicaux (literally "musical moments") are amongst Schubert's best-loved works for piano and are as accessible to the competent amateur pianist as they are to the concert artist. Introduction In the first part of Schubert's C -Major Moment Musical, the return of the opening theme has all the drama of a recapitulation after a long and episodic development.

In the first part of Schubert's C-Major Moment Musical, the return of the opening theme has all the drama of a recapitulation after a long and episodic development. In fact, the music has never decisively confirmed my tonal motion away from C major; more than in most modulatory passages, the tonic has remained latently present all the time, and simply re-emerges here. Altogether diatonic, with strongly defined motion to its cadences, it is a model of harmonic clarity. A selection of original piano music exactly as written by the, master composers of three centuries. The Moments Musicaux were published only a few months before Schubert's death in 1828.

Admittedly, it is unlikely that Schubert intended the title to refer specifically to such moments.2 Like "Impromptu," "Moment Musical" conveys a general sense of the improvisatory, the unpremeditated in contrast to deliberate, functionally articulated composition in sonata forms. 13, Schubert: Impromptus, D 899; Moments Musicaux, D 780; Six German Dances, D 820, Schubert: Moments Musicaux; 3 Klavierstcke, D.946; Wanderer Fantasy, Schubert: The Edition 1 - Orchestral, Chamber, Piano, Freedom - Schubert: Moments musicaux, Op. 16Anthony Newcomb used the same term in relationship to Mahler's Ninth Symphony in a paper delivered at a Symposium at Dartmouth College in May 1988. Instead of transforming its principal material into major, the -minor Moment Musical recalls the parallel-major music of its middle section just before it ends, leaving major and minor in ambiguous equilibrium. 94 No. But minor, with its nine flats, could hardly be more remote from the major of the opening music, even if the melodic of that opening's first cadence has intimated this strange key. 192 0 obj <> endobj The structure of this Moment Musical in this way plays out, like many Romantic pieces, an archetypal spiral plot16 of the type described by M.

One can aptly call this theme's return, in its recovery of music from an image of nature, a "moment musical," a special moment of transformation, in this case a moment in which music itself is created anew. But because they arise from the pianissimo parallel minor, these harmonies sound obscure, as if they come from offstage: they do little to destroy the sense of wonderment that the entire first phrase generates by unfolding so fully within the reverberating arpeggiation of its tonic triad.
