Theme and Variations Standard theme & variations form Any number of variations are possible

Baroque vs. Classical Vivaldi ground bass theme Haydn symphony theme Short, one phrase In bass voice Polyphonic texture One cadence at end Continuous motion into next variation Haydn symphony theme A tune in 4 phrases In top voice Homophonic Several cadences Full stop before next variation

Haydn, Symphony No. 95, II (1) Theme (aabb) Melody a simple tune with regular phrases Articulation mostly legato Major mode, stable harmonies Simple rhythms emphasize beat String colors, 1st violins on melody Middle to low register Accompaniment simple, staccato chords

Haydn, Symphony No. 95, II (2)

Haydn, Symphony No. 95, II (3) Variation 1 (a1a1’b1b1) Melody ornamented when a and b repeat Articulation of ornaments more staccato Rhythm of ornaments feels faster Solo cello, pizzicato accompaniment Register lower when cello plays, lower and higher in violin decorations New countermelody above cello melody
