- Brahms Intermezzo
- Dynamics and articulation
- Overall A is generally pretty quiet and the use of the sustain pedal gives it a legato feel
- Overall B is much louder with a crescendo almost immediately, it is however, just as legato and pedalled as overall A and A'
- Sub B is however much quieter again with the more chordal texture
- Rhythm tempo meter
- In 3/4 throughout
- Loads of notes of anticipation
- Tempo rubato used a lot
- Rits through phrases to add shaping
- Use of hemiola in sub B from overall A and A'
- Structure
- In ternary A B A' but no coda!
- Section A has 6 subsections, B has 3 (in mini ternary form) and A' has 5 as sub A doesn't repeat this time
- Melody
- LH mostly arpeggiaic
- RH mostly conjunct
- Section B features a three-part melody that is first heard in sub A and then inverted in sub A'
- Chromatic through sub B in overall A with sequencing and hemiola
- Texture
- Mostly melody dominated homophony
- Overall B is first three-part, then chordal homophony, then back to three-part with the upper part inverted
- Harmony
- The tonic key for the piece is A major
- Through the hemiola in overall A, sub B, there is also the use of upwards chromatic sequencing and chromatically inflected harmony
- There's a lot of a lot of half close (Ic-V) cadences in overall A which is completed with a very satisfying perfect cadence at the end of the piece
- Overall B starts in F# minor and modulates to the dominant, C# minor, before returning to F# minor on the repeat
