Homework Assignments
Please read carefully. Below is written work for high school as well as theta assignments for middle and high school. Thank you so much!
High School Dvorak 8 analysis Due May 15
Please analyze first mov. in terms of SONATA FORM. For this particular assignment please don’t use a lot of descriptive words. I’m interested in the following:
1. How does Dvorak use sonata form? (He adheres to it but also changes some things). Please identify the first theme group (which measures in the movement?) , second theme group, closing theme, development, recap and coda.
2. Identify the keys of all the above sections. Dvorak does some interesting things with the harmony!
3. How does Dvorak use thematic transformation? He does a lot of it!
Again, this should be a one page assignment with lots of symbols and not so many words. Please focus on the form, harmony and usage of motives, fragments etc..(thematic transformation)
