MUSC 320 - Advanced Theory

Hayden Hall, Room 105, Tuesdays and Fridays 2:00-3:15
Class 4Tuesday, January 28

In this session we did a very thorough review of seventh chords and their inversions, and then we up the lesson on "new flowchart details" (chapter 2 in our theory textbook).

I gave out Worksheet #3 and also #4 in case anybody wants to try it early.

Worksheet #3: New Expansions in the Flowchart

Worksheet #3 asks you to do two short analyses that include our new flowchart exceptions. This topic is covered in chapter 2 of our theory textbook.

I have clips you could listen to:

Mozart Symphony No. 41 in C Major, K. 551 "Jupiter": IV. Molto allegro

Mozart, Piano Sonata in A Major, K. 331: III. Rondo alla turca

If you want the full context you could watch this youtube video of the complete Rondo alla turca with form.

This worksheet is due Friday, Jan 31.

Worksheet #4: Non-chord Tones

Worksheet #4 asks you to analyse three easy piano pieces and label all of the passing tones, neighbor tones, appoggiaturas, etc. Reviewing Chapter 3 in our theory anthology is probably pretty essential before you dig in. Here are audio clips of the three passages:

1) Beethoven, Ecossaise in G major WoO 23

2) Mozart, Minuet in F major K. 2:

3) Burgmüller, Arabesque

Due date is Tues, Feb 4.
