- Arnold Schoenberg ~ Peripetie from Five Orchestral Pieces, 1909.
- Structure
- Five sections.
- In rondo form, returning 'A' sections developed so hardly recognisable as statements of a theme.
- Being more a return of a particular mood or orchestral sound rather than repeated recognisable themes.
- Not a rondo in same way as Classical and Baroque eras.
- Texture
- Section A
- Brass dominate the texture until bar 8.
- Instrumental combinations drop in and out in quick succession with homophonic bursts.
- Section B
- The soft violin and cello part are all but inaudible. they add to the texture and effect. POLYPHONIC.
- Section C
- The first half the texture is sparse, Schoenberg overlaps combinations of solo instruments.
- Section A
- Melody
- Section A
- Clarinet melody in bar 10 beat 2 is expressive and almost gentle, very angular.
- Section B
- Bars 24-28 bounces rapidly from one brass instrument to another, demonstrating the klangfarbenmelodie idea.
- Made up of many shor4t fragmented motifs combined in different ways to create interest.
- Section A
- Dynamics
- Section A
- Piece begins loudly, becomes louder with sudden bursts from instruments. Trumpets and trombones are muted.
- Section B
- Begins quietly, immediate crescendo.
- Dynamics changed dramatically and frequently in this section.
- Section C
- Beginning of final section marked up to original tempo.
- Range from pp with individual instruments rising above the other with individual crescendos.
- Section A"
- Quick crescendos. Immediately dies away to nothing with the tremolo double bass chord.
- Section A
- Tonality and harmony
- Piece is atonal.
- It uses lots of dissonant harmonies.
- The chords and melodies are built up from HEXACHORDS.
