One of these vertical symmetries forms a boundary for the flourish, the F1-E2 vertical that begins it together with the B5-A6 vertical that ends it. Example 2.42 portrays the juxtaposition of b material in mm. 34 and 36), and the first since m. 10 on which groups of three notes are highlighted as subsets within an ordered tone row. One can hear a gradual increase in emphasis on first vertical tritones and then tritones leading to perfect intervals through mm. 12, 13, 14, and 15. 4546 (subsection b2, last part of stage 3). 25, mm. Adagio sostenuto" But the flourish, though it is not vertically symmetrical as a whole, has numerous segments that are, all boxed on the pitch-class map in Example 2.46. 6 These are 3-4/4-3 and 2-5/5-2 near the center of the mirror, 10-9/9-above-10 a little further out from the center, and the invariance 10-11/10-11 at the boundaries of the mirror. 22b23a, does present a hexachord exchange with P4 which is defined registrally, if the listener is willing to group the low-register pitch class 10 with the high-register <0,9,8,2,11> and the high pitch classes 1 and 4 with the low <5,3,6,7>. Examples of the conventional wisdom include Ethan Haimos discussion of the two pieces in Schoenbergs Serial Odyssey and Jan Maegaards earlier article on the chronology of Schoenbergs early twelve-tone music.20. 5761a, c1 rather than c2. Roth. 7b9a. Throughout the B section, the same partition of the rotated row is used, and none of the row forms divided this way (I4 in mm. The small d subsection could possibly be heard as a parenthesis between a and e, since it interrupts an increase in dynamics, texture, and complexity of row disposition through those subsections. 25, mm. 6b7a), and I10 and I4 (mm. (Please note that the retrograde and retrograde-inverted forms in Example 2.4 follow the pattern suggested by Schoenbergs set table: the tetrachords reverse within themselves but keep the original order between themselves. 1013, returns to the symmetries of mm. The other two dyad palindromes are emphasized more subtly. In a twelve-tone composition, every note can be accounted for as being a member of the original series or one of its permutations, providing unity to the piece as a whole. The next passage to consider, mm. 25, mm. 1213 and corroborated in mm. Schoenberg experimented with the serialization of smaller groups of notes before applying the idea to all twelve; some of these experiments appear in the Five Piano Pieces, Op. See Silence and Slow Time, pp. The basic tone row of the suite consists of the following pitches: EFGDGEADBCAB. 1016, and the second and third stages of mm. 3 and 6b7a of the A section.) One of the palindromes, the more salient 28/82, hooks up with stage 3 in an interesting way: immediately after <2,8> in m. 24 comes pitch class 3 (in a right-hand triplet), and after <8,2> in m. 25 comes pitch class 9 (also part of a triplet figure in the right hand). 2023, completing the largest pitch-class palindrome yet heard (see the boldface pitch-class numbers on Example 2.36s map and compare them with those in Example 2.33). Example 2.24 illustrates mm. A summary is not available for this content. Example 2.6 Schoenberg, Prelude Op. 55b56a, the first ascending six-note group; mm. A row-count of m. 23 can be found in Example 2.17. 58, stage 2 of the original a subsection, the eighth-note triplets in the right hand presented this sequence: <1,7,2,8> in m. 5, <7,1,8,2> in m. 6, <1,7,0,6> in m. 7, and <7,1,6,0> in m. 8. The practice of carrying over larger invariant sets from one side of the palindrome to the other comes back in mm. 25 (Whittall 2008, p. 34). Thus 71 on the first two sextuplet eighths of m. 71 is answered in the same places in m. 72 with 1-7, and 6-0 and 0-6 are in corresponding locations, as are 511 and 115, 410 and 104, 39 and 93, 28 and 82. For the first time in the Prelude, Schoenberg places two retrograde-related rows, I4 and RI4, side by side, with their discrete tetrachords stacked vertically. My position with respect to the aforementioned debate could be thought of as a compromise. Was he trying to revive the old dance forms? One lone mirror dyad, 109/910, marks the boundaries of mm. Sleeping Beauty Op. 10128. 25) to eight row forms, P4, R4, I10, RI10, P10, R10, I4, and RI4, there are twenty-eight possible pairings of row forms available to him. 911 highlight pitch class 10 and <9,10> through rhythmic and metric emphases, then, as is shown on the score excerpt in Example 2.22, it is at least possible to hear the A section modulating to the dominant at its end from E to B. (The 3/4 is itself a hemiola with respect to the main meter of the piece, 6/8.) Thus one of the Gigues two main foreign elements (the <6,7> motive) is displayed according to a technique that was prevalent in the contrasting B section (vertical symmetry), to emphasize the axis pitch classes most crucial to the Suites four tone rows. 4546, reprised in the upper right-hand corner of Example 2.41, in the order <6,0,5,11,4,10>, (2) the left hand of m. 19, in the order <0,6,11,5,10,4>, and (1) the right hand of m. 16, presenting the ordering <6,0,5,11,4,10> again. 311 will have been dividing aggregates up this way already.) And rhythmically, each voice again repeats its own unique motto within the 3/4 framework, changing slightly on the third beat to accommodate the seventh note made necessary by each voices complete palindrome. There will be other elaborations of the same problem as well as other problems, and other solutions, in the subsequent music. 5152 account for previous <6,7> lines generally, and the soprano successions in mm. Then enter the name part 13036. As mm. I mentioned above that I would consider the larger significance of Schoenberg rearranging the elements of I10 in m. 26 so that they sound like P9, a half-step transposition of P10 in m. 25. However, if we listen for the motivic material of m. 2 in mm. My view of the form agrees with Ethan Haimos, John McKays, and Martin Boykans, in that it identifies three main sections: A at m. 1, B directly after the double bar at m. 12, and A at m. 17.22 Haimo calls this a rounded binary, no doubt because of the repeat sign ending the A section and the brief, five-measure length of B. I prefer to label it as ternary because mm. As has been the case in previous b subsections, the opening material gives way quickly (after two measures this time) to runs alternating pitch intervals 6 and 7, which disturb the orderings of the rows. Orphe Suite for Piano (2000). As the rightmost part of Example 2.16 shows, the first part of each palindrome receives a clear statement in the left hand at the measures beginning, and a less clear statement (because of the intervening {A, G, D} chord) in the right hand at the measures end. Kurths account is the most detailed, showing how exchanged and contiguous tetrachords trace a motion from <3,2,4,5> to <11,0,9,10> in mm. 25 MacKay, Series, Form and Function, pp. 4042, and just like the a1 and a2 subsections that precede it, this passage uses overlapping of elements of tetrachords to obscure row forms as well as hiding palindromes and invariants between rows. DEBUSSY - Petite Suite for piano duet. Hearing the right hand of m. 12 as a significant motive could inspire the listener to hook those four notes up with the <11,10> in the right hand of m. 13 to create a larger unit, a hexachord a strategy that seems to be validated by the following measures, in which registral division of the aggregate into hexachords increasingly becomes the norm. 6368). And, partly because of the reordering, but also because it is limited to one measure, stage 3 does not display any significant pitch-class symmetries. 25 sheet music. Theres a lot here that is owed to Boffards superb playing, which is full of sensitivity, delicate shading, and rhythmic drive all of this in music which, if played badly, easily becomes rigid, coolly colourless, mechanical.00:00 Prelude01:01 Gavotte02:11 Musette (Gavotte da capo at 3:27)04:37 Intermezzo08:38 Menuet (and Trio at 10:23)12:19 Gigue 18b19, m. 22 combines its pair of rows in such a way that most of the individual tetrachords are indistinguishable. 8 The Suite for Piano was first performed by Schoenberg's pupil Eduard Steuermann in Vienna on 25 February 1924. 6 Still, the same four dyad palindromes reappear, though now not in the same order as in the Grundgestalt. I10 undergoes the same rotation process introduced in the B section, which was thought to have a destructive effect on the rows ability to produce other forms of itself in different dimensions through exchange, and manages to project the hexachords of I4 through chronological partitioning anyway. I am a pianist, so I set myself specific challenges for each movement: the first highlights touch and velocity, the second voicing, the third a long singing line and pedaling, and the last dramatic shifts in color, tempo, and dynamics. The corresponding passage, mm. Example 2.39a Schoenberg, Gigue Op. Then at the climax, mm. 2023 (subsection x). 13. Instead, Schoenberg rotates P10 to begin on order number 2, and then divides it into contiguous hexachords, so that the left hands hexachord constitutes order positions 27 (presented out of order) and the right hand has 81 (also out of order). Bourree, IV. It was written in the summer of 1991, and recorded at Sky Studio Seaford in 1991, but unreleased until 1998. And finally, if we separate the top two notes from the other four in each measure (thus creating a registral partition within a chronological one), the three tetrachords of I10 emerge. Then in mm. From the standpoint of hexachord exchange, the role of mm. Also similar to previous stages 2 is the incomplete horizontal symmetry in m. 18, marked by heavy boxes in the pitch-class map. Thus, in the climactic section, Schoenberg seems to be making an attempt to bring back the Preludes basic shape, but instead creates a related kind of structure. Sheet music piano. 7b9. 25, m. 24. 3739 b1. 14 This observation necessitates understanding the E in the alto on the downbeat of m. 16 as a misprint that takes the place of E, an interpretation that Kurth agrees with. The pitch classes of this sequence, <6,0,5>, create the succession that will begin the right hand of stage 3, two measures later, and thus can be heard as predicting the onset of stage 3.

This last way of projecting the Idea looks forward to the approach Schoenberg takes in his next twelve-tone composition, the Woodwind Quintet Op. E and F in m. 1 share staccato and p markings with F and E in mm. The symmetry seems less convincing this time, however: the experience of mm. 2326 by Arnold Schoenberg, pp. But the sequence and rhythmic repetition between the first three beats of m. 24 and the fourth beat of m. 24 followed by the first two beats of m. 25 suggest a different meter than the notated one, which is indicated on the example between the notation and the pitch-class map: three measures of 3/4. But here in m. 24, Schoenberg obscures the ideal shape by applying registral changes or changes in ordering to the palindromic dyads, or placing other pitch classes between the members of a dyad. 24 Schoenbergs definition and illustrations of sentence form, including information on the nature and role of liquidation, may be found in Schoenberg, Fundamentals of Musical Composition, pp. The steady eighth-note rhythm of the first four measures is completely supplanted by triplets in both hands. Find out more about the Kindle Personal Document Service. Therefore, Schoenberg uses a number of different methods to obscure some of the palindromic dyads, as illustrated by Example 2.10. Kurth shows how the attack rhythms of t3 of P4 in m. 2 take the rhythm of t2 in the first measure and displace it to the right by an eighth note. Therefore, after solving the pieces problem in mm. Measures 3336 constitute the first occasion since m. 13 on which we have heard a tone row stated in order, the first occasion in the movement on which rows are stated in order without incorporating multiple vertical dyads (mm. Stage 2 of subsection b2 comprises mm. Second, we hear two dyad palindromes and two dyad invariances that span the entire four-measure unit, characterizing it as horizontally symmetrical around the barline between mm. The pitch-class maps in the lower halves of Examples 2.30a and 2.30b depict a gradual process, whereby lines alternating unordered pitch intervals 6 and 7 supplant patterns established at the beginning of the Gigue, in three stages. Op. 10001; Kurth, Dis-Regarding Schoenbergs Twelve-Tone Rows, pp. Its also worth noting the connection via genre to the suites we studied in the Baroque era. 8 12 has done. Example 2.43 Schoenberg, Gigue Op. Seymour Shifrin in his review of Schoenbergs Style and Idea, Perspectives of New Music 1415 (SpringSummer 1976, FallWinter 1976): 17481, calls the Menuett a binary form, dividing it into mm. 25, m. 21. Thus a harmonic connection is established between openings of different movements. 15 and 16. Sarabande 3:534. 119. (BE.BEL-1035). Example 2.12 Schoenberg, Prelude Op. Actually, this is the first of two tonal accounts that Kurth makes of the opening measures; the second groups individual notes and invariant dyads differently to suggest an A minor tonality in mm. However, this partition is a bit less clear than the one that gave rise to P10 in mm. 37 and 38 seem to expand the idea of vertical symmetry to the entire two-measure unit. 14 are still stressed in mm. 5758 can be found in the opposite hands at those same two places: right hand in m. 19, left hand in m. 16. 0.0/10 911. $3.73 + shipping. Print length 12 pages Language English Publisher Perhaps more salient and important, however, is that the pitch-class succession of highlighted notes in mm. An interesting case of a palindromic dyad obscured by an order change, which then comes to the fore as a repeating motive, is the last measures treatment of 71/17 from P4/R4. 12, going up a perfect fifth from I to V in other words, and how <11,0,9,10> as V in m. 3 returns to <4,5,2,3> as I in m. 4. Kurth has highlighted three such shapes; I will focus only on what he calls the gamma palindrome.16 Schoenberg seems to have recognized that a certain sequence of order numbers, namely <5-and-8,9,6,10>, when applied to first P4/I10 and then I4/P10, will create a palindromic sequence of dyads (illustrated in the middle of Example 2.13c, and also shaded in Example 2.13b).
