  • Beethoven Symphony Analysis - Movement One
    • Subject 2 - this is a more relaxed, feminie melody that is imitated by the flutes when played by the oboes - here there is a dialogue between instreuments
    • After bar 33, the exposition is finally underway with the use of forte dynamics and the orchestra playing Tutti - with a homophonic texture - This is the Bridge Passage
    • Exposition - 1-33 Begins it in the tonic key but does it in an understated way - With P dynamics
      • First Subject introduced with the repeated rhythm of dotted quaver and seiquaver and is then modulcated to D Major

    • Effect - Creates Tension - goes against conventions of classical writing
  • Starts in F Major with perfect cadence - Then moves to an Interrupted G-Am and then a perfect D7 - G
