I got the take-home part of my final done early, yay me! This part of the final centered around analysis of three different pieces, about 30-60 seconds from each one. I thought some of you might be interested in the pieces.1. This aria from Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" .. the first minute of this:

2. The beginning of the fourth Statement from Anton Weberns Fünf Sätze für Streichquartett

The part we analyze is from time stamp 7:00 - about 7:30
3. The last piece is by a 12-tone composer that I'd never heard of until this class. Luigi Dallipiccola..
We had to analyze the first 40 seconds of this:

I wish I'd seen that video before now, it outlines all the tone rows and the pitch class sets, which is exactly what we have to do for the final!
Should I tell my teacher that the answer to 20 points of her take-home final is right there on YouTube? laughing!
yes!
Interesting stuff. Gracias.
Everything leads back to Bach….
The Webern piece is fascinating.
I wrote her an e-mail AFTER I handed in my assignment, in which I swore to her that I did not find that video until after I'd turned it in, but maybe for next year, she should be aware....
That last link -wow all those changes. As for your question ... she might take those 20 points away.
But then she might already know also.
