Hey guys!
My name's Joey.. I'm new to the forums. I'm an aspiring young, freshman Musician at a University in the East. I've always admired music, but had no background in studies before attending this college. This post is in regards to an assignment I was given in my very first music class. I was directed to formally break down Mozart's symphony no. 40. All aspects of the assignment have been completed, except one. I am looking for help in determining SPECIFIC timings of the song, creating a simple formal diagram. So far I, understand that it is sonata form, so I know that it will break down like this: 1) Primary Theme 2) Bridge 3) Secondary Theme 4) Development 5) Primary Theme Repeated 6) Bridge #2 7) Secondary Theme Repeated 8) Coda HOWEVER- I can not determine exactly when the primary theme turns into a bridge, or when the second theme turns into the development, etc. My question to you- can someone provide me with specific timings of when the formal diagram changes, so i can have a better understanding of what it truly means for the theme to change, and also so i will have a better understanding of ideas such as bridges? (Example- primary theme.. 0:00 - x:xx.... bridge #1.. x:xx- z:zz.. etc.) Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Joe Ps. here's the link for the piece- Mozart, Symphony No. 40 in G minor, first movement - YouTube |
