~ Henryk Szeryng plays Brahms Violin Concerto (1st Mov.)
Views: 62574 |  |  |  |  | Henryk Szeryng plays Brahms Violin Concerto in D Major, Op 77: I. Allegro non troppo (First Movement)
Sorry I took so long on this. I finally got the first movement done.
Henryk Szeryng is THE Brahms Violin Concerto man. No one plays the Brahms ...More Violin Concerto better than Szeryng, in my opinion. Enjoy. |

~ Mozart string quartet 16 in E flat major (Mov 1/4)

Salomon Quartet
The String Quartet No. 16 in E flat major, K. 428, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This is the third of the Haydn Quartets, a set of six string quartets he wrote during his first few ...More years in Vienna in honor of the composer Joseph Haydn.
It is in four movements, with the Minuet third: * I. Allegro non troppo * II. Andante con moto * III. Menuetto & Trio * IV. Allegro vivace
The first movement is highly chromatic, with the chromaticized bridge theme in the exposition being one of several examples, the end of the exposition being another.
The slow movement "invokes ... the slow movement of Haydn's Op. 20 no. 1. The ostentatious dissonances of its opening almost have an antique flavour, caused by the collision of semitonal ascents and descents, and this strongly suggests the opening subject of the first movement, so surprisingly isolated there." Other commentators hear it as pointing forward to Johannes Brahms.
Throughout the third movement Mozart "makes use of a pedal point in the bass, thus giving the music an entrancing rustic effect."
The last movement "can best be described as being an abridged rondo form." |

The String Quartet No. 16 in E flat major, K. 428, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This is the third of the Haydn Quartets, a set of six string quartets he wrote during his first few years in Vienna in honor of the composer Jos ...More eph Haydn.
It is in four movements, with the Minuet third:
* I. Allegro non troppo
* II. Andante con moto
* III. Menuetto & Trio
* IV. Allegro vivace
The first movement is highly chromatic, with the chromaticized bridge theme in the exposition being one of several examples, the end of the exposition being another.
The slow movement "invokes ... the slow movement of Haydn's Op. 20 no. 1. The ostentatious dissonances of its opening almost have an antique flavour, caused by the collision of semitonal ascents and descents, and this strongly suggests the opening subject of the first movement, so surprisingly isolated there." Other commentators hear it as pointing forward to Johannes Brahms.
Throughout the third movement Mozart "makes use of a pedal point in the bass, thus giving the music an entrancing rustic effect."
The last movement "can best be described as being an abridged rondo form."
The refrain has three ideas: 1st theme, 32nd note varient and a sort of development digression (related to the eighthnote leap motive) in the second part (reprise). At its second appearance, there is no repeat: it is like the return to a minuet from the trio, e.g. d.c. without repeats.For its third appearance, it repaces the 32nd note varient with another, more closely related to the original theme an octave higher. The original second part is also truncted, again, keeping closer to the original theme which dominates in a sort of extention or coda until it ends in a big four note bang (repeated) (the four notes or chords related to the 4/8 measure length of the motive/phrase).
It is difficult to cite examples of the episode. The same material is used twice, but with elogations and perhaps octave or key transposing (more wandering?) in the second occurance. The matierial begins with what could be a stable new part or could be seen as transitionoal. It then breaks into minor chords for a phrase, then major running 32nd notes. It is a harmonic move to B flat, so it is harmonically transitioinal. but again, how to summarize that much matierial with a snippet? The B-flat theme is clear. It is an interesting structure! |
