  1. Set Work 2: Mozart The answers.......

  2. Section A – Question 1 • What is unusual about the orchestra that Mozart uses in this symphony compared to the standard orchestra of the time? • There are no trumpets of timpani (2)

  3. Section A – Question 2 • Describe 2 ways in which the first and second subjects differ in the exposition section of this movement • First subject = G minor and second subject = Bb major • They both have different melodies (2)

  4. Section A – Question 3 • Mention 2 features of the development section • Develop the melodic material of the first and second subject, but only the first subject in this particular example • Explore keys not used in the exposition section (2)

  5. Section A – Question 4 • What is the purpose of the bridge section in the exposition? • To modulate from the tonic (G minor) to the related key (the relative major, Bb Major in this case) (1)

  6. Section A – Question 5 • What key is the second subject of the recapitulation, and why? • G minor, as it is the tonic key • We do not modulate in the recapitulation so we can prepare to end the piece on the tonic key. (2)

  7. Section A – Question 6 • The final section is the coda. What does Mozart do to further develop this part of the piece? • The first subject is developed further in the coda (1)

  8. Section A – Question 7 • How would you describe the mood of the first movement as a whole? Give 3 musical answers to back up your argument. (3)

  9. Section A – Question 8 • What is the role of the 2 horns in the piece, and why is one in G minor and one in Bb major? • Reinforce the musical texture at key moments, particularly cadences, ends of sections • At this time, horns had no valves, just crooks. The G crook played G-Bb-D (first subject) and the Bb crook gave the notes Bb-D-F (second subject) (2)

  10. Section A – Question 9 • Name 2 different types of texture used in this work • Homophonic and Polyphonic (2)

  11. Section A – Question 10 • How many other movements are there in the rest of this symphony? • 3 (1) • Total of 18 marks for Section A

  12. Section B – EssaySonata form • Sonata form is made up of 3 main section – exposition, development and recapitulation • Exposition states the first and second subjects • First subject is in the tonic key (in this case G minor) • Second subject is in a closely related key (in this case the relative major, Bb major) • Some composers use a bridge section to link the first and second subject – Mozart has done this. • The exposition is repeated to familiarise the listener with the melodic material before the development section.

  13. Section B – Essaysonata form • The development section takes the first and second subject and develops them by modulating throughout keys not used in the exposition. • The recapitulation restates the first and second subject, but this time we do not modulate for the second subject, we stay in the tonic to prepare for the ending. • Some composers use a coda to finish of, but this is a short section with no new material.

  14. Section B – EssayWhat Mozart did differently. • He adds a codetta at the end of the exposition section • The development section only uses the first subject, the second subject is ignored • In the recapitulation he modulates from G minor to Eb major • He places a bridge section in the recapitulation, even though we are not modulating. • The coda is developed, using the first 3 notes of the first subject
