Haydn 104 last movement recapitulation revision week 18

Haydn 104 last movement recapitulation revision week 18

​

This session and what to do

This session finishes off looking at the Haydn set work. I want you to access this information at you own pace which is why I have made it off line. Please read through the slides and listen to the clips adding the features identified to you notes and annotating your score. When you have finished please revise all four movements ready for a large set of questions on Thursday.

Aims and Objectives

• Objective. To finish revising the Haydn symphony 104

• Aim. To identify how the main themes have been recapitulated

• Aim. To carry on with your independent revision for the quiz on Thursday

The Recapitulation

Please listen to the recapitulation on your own device.

Main features of the recapitulation

• The original drone from the exposition returns

• Only the second repeated 8 bars of the first subject are played before a return of the pedal six four idea from the exposition

• The second part of the original transition is left out

• The First Subject is heard from Bars 195- 202

• The Second Subject and subject two B are heard in Bars 221-264

• The Coda is from Bars 265 to the end

First Subject – Bars 195- 202

• Based on bars 19-26 of the exposition and remaining in the tonic key.

• Alteration begins at bar 210, when the quaver development continues.

• The second part of the Transition (31-35 of exposition) is omitted. This is a shorter Transition. The initial transition passage was 35 bars long . This transition in the Recapitulation is 18 bars long.

• In its place, there is a dominant pedal at 215-20 which brings S2, now in the tonic key

of D major.

Second Subject – S2: Bars 221-264

S2a and 2b

• Bars 221 -228 are based on bars 55-62

• Main theme now in horns, bassoons and lower strings

• From bar 228, there are four bars of detached chords and figure ‘x’ re-emphasized in clarinets, trumpets and timps as the music moves again towards the tonicisation of A

major, the dominant key.

• In bar 232, Haydn inserts the passage from the transition i.e. bars 44 – 52

• Bars 240 – 246 are based on bars 76 -83,with the passage now ending on a I6/4→V progression in the home key

S2b comes next

• Based on bars 84 -101

•It is not in the tonic key but has shifted up to B major,

•Returns back to D major (bar 251-253)

• The passage ends with an imperfect cadence

Coda: Bars 265 – end

• Begins with thematic material reflecting the codetta from the Exposition (bar 102)

• At bar 276,there is a woodwind trio – flute and both oboes.

• Full orchestra returns tutti at bar 287 with the quaver idea from bar 143.

• At 301, the continuous quaver idea from bar 76 returns above a homophonic texture.

• The last two bars are repeated several times to conclude the movement, along with a

final reference to figure ‘y’ ( 326-330), figure ‘x’ (bars 320, 331) over a tonic pedal

• The movement ends with ‘the stamping rhythm’ of fig ‘x’ extended into a ff perfect

cadence played tutti by the orchestra.

Comparative analysis

As we have already heard all the material used in the recapitulation before in the exposition, the main analytic process used to describe the final section of the fourth movement is through comparison of the themes in both parts.

What to do now

On Thursday there will be another online activity to take at your own pace. It will be a series of questions on any aspect of all four movements. The purpose of this test is too see where there are gaps in your revision so that you can tick off the things you do know, and re-visit weaker areas. I will be able to see the results of these questions but they are purely a revision exorcise and nothing else. Start your revision now so that you can test how much you have remembered about each movement. Thanks. Andrew
