Schubert Piano Moment Musical major minor gesture ambiguity romantic Volume 30 1990 I. 7), unexpectedly loud and impassioned, and so even more in contrast with the music of the A sections. Supplementing the Dover edition of Schubert's complete piano sonatas, this volume contains all of the remainder of Schubert's music for pianoforte solo (except the dances and a few unfinished pieces): the ever popular "Wanderer" fantasy, Opus 15; the 8 impromptus (Opp. Thus one might take the term "moment musical" to characterize several types of special, transformative or conflictual moments in Schubert's music, moments that figure prominently in every one of the pieces bearing this title. It also leaves no room for doubt about its triple, 9/8 meter or about the placement of its accented beats. 172 No. Even as the second phrase finally makes a definite move away from the tonic-triad territory of the first, it continues to reverberate with what has already been heard: from the end of measure 11 through measure 12, its melody echoes (as Rothgeb points out) that of measures 7-10, which joined the first two phrases. The movements are as follows: Along with the Impromptus, they are among the most frequently played of all Schubert's piano music, and have been recorded many times. displayed in performance of Chopin's Prelude in E Minor Op 28 no. [1] Each Moment musical reproduces a musical form . [ArkivMusic lists 88 options. "17 But in this piece, as also in several of the five-part slow movements of Schubert's works in sonata-forms,18 that plot unfolds in a double spiral, here first recovering a memory but then returning to it to re-enact it, in order to repossess that memory not only in conscious thought but in a psychodrama of presently lived experience. Only in this last subphrase does the bass, too, become more active. At the same time, the rhythmic compression of the phrase just heard, obscuring the triple meter beneath groups of two beats and then even of one, makes the new ostinato rhythmically ambiguous. Each moment-to-moment is as important as the larger relationship of the Moments Musicaux one to the other. The , which first appeared as the isolated melodic high point of the first cadence in the piece, now re-emerges as the supporting dominant bass. The second piece, primarily through its sustained chords and metrical ambiguities, secondarily through its avoidance much of the time of strong harmonic and melodic movement, produces a sense of hovering, of questioning without finding answers. Beginning with a lonely echo of the first phrase's melodic cadential e2, the phrase after the double bar (mm. 'Schubert's Promissory Note'.1 Discussing the Moment musical in Ab major (Op. Perhaps one day the original autograph manuscripts of these pieces will reappear, at which point a scholarly reappraisal will of course be required; in the meantime, I cannot imagine a better edition of these pieces than Wiener Urtexts new version by Leisinger, Levin and Badura-Skoda. But that harmony, even in this violence, remains an illusion: it will disappear before any further E-minor progression confirms it. Often the poem rounds upon itself to end where it began, at the outer scene, but with an altered mood and deepened understanding which is a result of the intervening meditation.". 40 in G minor, K. 550 . While connected through this -major harmony to the A section and related to it motivically, the music of the B section subverts rather than affirms what the A section has hesitantly established. 94 No. V: Allegro vivace 2/4 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). Each moment-to-moment is as important as the larger relationship of the Moments Musicaux one to the other. Wiener Urtext Edition have, in recent years, made a particular effort to renew their editions of Schuberts smaller-scale piano works, the two sets of Impromptus, Op.90 and Op.142, and the Moments musicaux op.94, a new edition of which has just appeared on the market. Harmonies are unusual; the Quartet in E-at, Op. 2, as a test case, this paper offers a view which resists the pressure to explain idiosyncratic musical events as contributing to a greater whole, demonstrating that conceptions of unity need not accompany tonal hierarchical systems; it also shows how Schubert's use of tonality and 3-4), its high g2 thus becoming a melodic goal.

The final A section is the simplest, for it undertakes no excursion comparable to the earlier ones to minor and major. In what follows, however, the -major triad now serves its true subdominant function, so that the same idea that originally brought a cadence in major, transposed, now brings a cadence in major (cf. 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. 3 and 6, dating from 1823 and 1824 respectively. 3 57 dim.

When the contrasting material in F sharp minor, so dark, so painfully sad, reappears at measure 56 we actually feel Schuberts despair. 6).

The melody of the second subphrase sounds this time an octave higher than before (cf. McCreless only suggests "that the final B' and A" sections are needed to restore tonal balance in a purely durational sense." In a sense, the minor of the music that follows (Ex. 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.

The playful use of hemiola as this phrase falls away from its climax (mm. Usually, the final movements of compositions are powerful, lively and dynamic. 23 and 30). Schubert's recourse to contrapuntal inversion here also subverts the echoing effect through which the final subphrase emerged before (cf. I have shown how the A sections of both, different as they are, both proceed hesitantly, the first finding ways to continue only by echoing or listening to itself, the second continually searching for clarification of emphasis and direction from moment to moment. 2 - Franz Schubert 2021-03-16 This edition contains Two Impromptus opus 90 by Franz Schubert -- no. It is considered one of Tchaikovsky's greatest works and is frequently performed in concert halls around the world. The final piece of D. 780 is an Allegretto in A flat major that returns to the otherworldly minuet variety of the first piece. 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.

A move to E major during the second half of the minuet-proper (as opposed to the trio section) sounds somehow full of resignation; the modulation back to A flat a few measures later is absolutely heartwarming. 8Lawrence Moss, "A Compositional Analysis," in Yeston, ed., Readings in Schenker Analysis, 167. 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. Individual performance notes are included for each piece along with other editorial markings and suggestions. Using the Moment musical in A major, D. 780 (Op. But just before it arrives, the beginning of this new phrase has also been pre-echoed by the two preceding measures: the melody drives home the b1 just established.

Schachter's interpretation of the chord in measure 11 depends as fundamentally on the voice-leading of that measure as on the measures that surround it. 94 in G, Hob. mm. 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. When the theme returns beneath these calls, it immediately restores its C-major tonality and its triple meter to the music as if by magic. features six performances (by one performer) of the work and evaluates musical structure. 6] Tharaud's reading emphasizes the music's unresolved melancholy, which is very affecting.This is one of those rare releases that pulls you deeper into Schubert's ambiguity than. See also Alfred Einstein's discussion of these pieces in his Schubert: A Musical Portrait (New York: Oxford, 1951), 288-90. And I am tempted to reconcile their analyses by claiming that Schubert has written this passage in such a way that each progression, each moment of the music, becomes not only past but illusorynot what it seemed to bethe moment it has passed. One metaphorical interpretation of this piece might make the B section into a disturbing memory. Along with the Impromptus, they are among the most frequently played of all Schubert's piano music, and have been recorded many times. This sense of tension and release allows the music to relax, thus enriching our experience of the movement. 21; Moments musicaux; Allegretto in C minor, Schubert: The Collector's Edition [Box Set], Ultimate Schubert: The Essential Masterpieces [Box Set], Yves Nat: Ses Enregistrements, 1930-1956 [Coffret du 50me Anniversaire] [Box Set], Schubert: Piano Sonatas; Impromptus; Moments musicaux, Schubert: The Great Piano Sonatas [Box Set], Wilhelm Backhaus Plays Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven, Arthur Schnabel: The Complete Schubert Recordings 1932-1950 [Box Set], Clifford Curzon: Decca Recordings, 1937-1971, Vol. Franz SchubertMoment Musical Op.94 (D.780) No.6 in A flat MajorAlfred Brendel: piano In the last A section, the disturbing force of that past has largely disappeared. 94, No. The memory of the climactic Bs, still reverberating beneath the calling ostinato, fades into the C of the opening's recall. 1, mm. In both these pieces, the contrasting, more song-like B sections throw into relief the special echoing-of-the-moment or hovering-in-the-moment of the A sections. Many still think that Schubert felt especially at home in these pieces because they resemble songs more closely than sonatas, and so suit his predominantly lyrical temperament. Like these phrases in the last Moment Musical, the -major phrase (Ex. Six moments musicaux (French for "Six Musical Moments"; Russian: , romanized : Shest' muzykl'nykh momntov ), Op . This changes the emotional color from delicate to ominous. (i) The A part of the first piece, itself a rounded binary design (a/ba), begins and continues tentatively, but concludes strongly in the return of its opening ideas: as Schachter has observed, this first part of the piece achieves full closure and can stand alone.15 The B section, also a clear rounded binary structure in the closely related dominant key of G major, reaffirms and carries forward the natural musical flow that the A section finally achieves: it retains but subordinates the triplet motive from the A section, now grounding the music in this motive as a textural element; and it incorporates the prominent upper-neighbor and ascending-fourth motives of the earlier music, subordinating them also to its directed motion. A believe that is true at times yes! Live Music Archive Librivox Free Audio. Repetition in the case of Schubert, a divine plot device, works perfectly to sew up one of the Moments Musicaux. "4 Until the return of its opening motto, each subphrase of the A section begins by echoing, by rehearing some part or aspect of the preceding subphrase. In 1828, few months before his death, Schubert published six short pieces entitled "Moment Musical" (sic), now usually referred to under the French title in the plural. Of course this Schubertian device has many precedents in tonal music, Picardy thirds and Maggiore variations among the simplest of them. (ii) The A section of the second Moment Musical not only begins tentatively; it ends tentatively, too, happening seemingly by accident upon a -major cadence that leaves it open and incomplete.

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. 2, mm.

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. Schachter hears the entire passage as prolonging further the tonic triad of the opening phrase, so that the melodic b1 threatens but remains subordinate to the c1 that it neighbors, and so that the 1 of the E-major chord in measure 10 becomes in retrospect a chromatic passing tone between a1, an upper neighbor, and g1, its tone of resolution. 3, Schubert Recital; Bach & Mozart Concertos, Schubert: Musical Moments; Schumann: Piano Concerto, Schubert: Sonata in B-flat major, D. 960; Moments musicals, D. 780, Schubert: Sonata in B flat, D. 960; Moments Musicaux, D. 780, Beethoven: The Complete Sonatas for Cello and Piano; Schubert: 6 Moments Musicaux, Franz Schubert: Sonata No. It has that music in its thrall, and influences or even causes its tonal digressions: thus minor and major lie between major and an already implicitly present minor, and arise as disturbances of the -major music because of the underlying psychic force of the still unintegrated memory that the -minor region embodies. 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. Comparison of these two pieces raises an obvious question: why does the material of the second Moment Musical require a five-part (ABABA) design, while a simple ternary (ABA) plan meets the demands of the first one's material?

Remaining fundamentally within the tonic harmony, this second subphrase smooths out the rhythmic and melodic contours of the opening one: a second flowing triplet in measure 3 replaces the angular dotted rhythm at the end of measure 1; a repetition of g1 at measure 4 replaces the striking leap up to e2 of measure 2; and a falling figure in eighth notes, filling in a third, takes the place of the tense, agogically stressed half-note of the opening motto.
