Composition
The first task is to correct and improve your basic A:||B(A’) 24 bars. Please ensure that:
- you have a tempo at the beginning and then dynamic and articulation markings throughout in all parts (see guide)
- your A section has both the modulation AND the secondary dominant
- your B section has a selection of chords over the pedal (see in WCT Fingerprints)
- you have included TWO textures based on the minuet models
- you have followed all the guidelines here
All students must submit this on Tuesday/Wednesday next week in quartet form.
The task following week (but you can start this week if you are ready) is to do one or more of the following extensions:
- orchestrate using small Classical orchestral forces (a 8 combinations). You can go as large as Haydn 104
- add a coda
- write a trio to go alongside it also in binary form
WCT Essay (NEXT Friday)
Write a revision leaflet/poster/booklet for Haydn 104 Minuet. You can use the annotated score on Moodle (requires log-in) and the resources on A level music (development of symphony) to help you.
It must include:
- a structure table (include main keys)
- features including harmony and rhythm
- information and examples that puts it in context in terms of its orchestration
- an introduction to humour in Haydn referring to a couple of other examples.
