During the codetta that precedes the trio section, Schubert teases with hints of A major/E major, but, in a startling move, snaps straight into A flat minor -- and since this opening section of music is repeated verbatim after the trio, it is in this bleakest of minor modes that the piece ends. When the contrasting material in F sharp minor, so dark, so painfully sad, reappears at measure 56 we actually feel Schuberts despair.

V: Allegro vivace 2/4 29ff.) 192 0 obj <> endobj "17 But in this piece, as also in several of the five-part slow movements of Schubert's works in sonata-forms,18 that plot unfolds in a double spiral, here first recovering a memory but then returning to it to re-enact it, in order to repossess that memory not only in conscious thought but in a psychodrama of presently lived experience.

But Schubert's changes to major sound more often like inner transformations than like mere changes of mood: instead of introducing new material in the major mode into a context of the minor, Schubert typically transforms the same or almost the same gestures that were minor into major, as if the minor-mode music wanted to be major all along and is finally allowed to be. Its metrical context dismantled in the preceding climax, this ostinato seems to recover to this music the natural soundsI have characterized them as cuckoo callsthat it imitates.

Schubert, Moment Musical, Op. But then, in a sudden moment of harmonic redirection and metrical clarification, a single measure-long subphrase tonicizes major (m.15).13 Although no harmonic event before measure 15 prefigures this arrival in the subdominant, the immediately following cadence confirms this unorthodox tonal goal, repeating as its initiating bass-line a chromatic descent from to that, as an inner-voice motion in measures 13-15, linked the two preceding subphrases. Measure 44 quietly echoes a -major semicadence before this distant-sounding region vanishes behind the return of major, linked to it not only by the melodic common tone, , but also by an implied chromatic ascent, mostly in the bass, connecting to as it moves from back up to this tonic pitch (see annotations in Ex.

One of his most significant innovations, arguably, is the integration of such "moments musicaux" into song, as one way of embodying in music the developing actions and changing mental states in the poems he set. The "moments musicaux" I have described are disjunctive, unexpected, usually disruptive of some established aspect of musical continuity even when they play an integrative role.
