I’m working on a music discussion question and need a sample draft to help me study.Let’s consider two pieces of music for voice next: part of Mozart’s Requiem and Schubert’s Lied or art song, Elfking. Listen to both works.*In
the Classical period form was an important concern for composers and
listeners alike. These two pieces approach formal design very
differently. Are the forms of these pieces as described in the text easy
to hear with practice?
Both
of these pieces are very dramatic in nature. How do their individual
approaches to structural design (form) reinforce the drama that you
hear?
I’m
sure you’ll want to comment on the similarity in the verbal meaning
attached to both these examples — program music in a sense?
