BEETHOVEN PIANO SONATA No. 3 in C Major, Op 2, No. 3 performed by GARRICK OHLSSON
2
Idea (theme)
3
Idea, slightly varied
4
Idea extended
5
Transition idea (“passage work”)
6
Transition idea repeated, but changed at end
7
Another transition idea, a tune (a theme) heading to a goal...
8
ARRIVAL! But not where we expected... (minor key instead of major)
9
Is this the second theme? (it seems to be)
10
Is this the second theme? Yes, I’m pretty sure now, but we are still headed to another goal...
11
A new theme, in a major key
12
Seems rather generously long...
13
That transition passage work again
14
Cool rhythmic dislocation
15
Heavy accent on 2
16
New theme (closing theme)
17
Idea (theme) That means this is probably the repeat of exposition
18
Idea, slightly varied Yes, this is the repeat of the exposition
19
Idea extended
20
Transition idea (“passage work”)
21
Transition idea repeated, but changed at end
22
Another transition idea, a tune (a theme) heading to a goal...
23
ARRIVAL! But not where we expected... (minor key instead of major)
24
Is this the second theme? (no doubt about it now)
25
more the second theme Heading back to that other goal...
26
A new theme, in a major key (I think now I understand why it seems relatively long and almost static – this is needed to balance that ambiguous second theme)
27
That transition passage work again
28
Cool rhythmic dislocation
29
Heavy accent on 2
30
New theme (closing theme)
31
Development Variation on closing theme, then rich unpredictable harmonic progression – where is it going?
32
Back home? Recapitulation?
33
NO! Fake out – wrong key and we’re off into uncharted harmonic territory again
34
Cool rhythmic dislocation
35
Variation on opening theme, leading to...
36
HOME! Sneaky return
37
Business as usual (recapitulation) Opening theme (in C Major, as in the beginning)
38
Business as usual (recapitulation) Opening theme Transitional material, tweaked
39
Business as usual (recapitulation) Opening theme Transitional material, tweaked Second theme, still in minor, but C minor (first time it was in G minor. Can you hear a difference? I’m not sure I do)
40
Business as usual (recapitulation) Opening theme Transitional material, tweaked Second theme, still in minor, but C minor Third theme (now in C Major; it was in G Major)
41
Business as usual (recapitulation) Opening theme Transitional material, tweaked Second theme, still in minor, but C minor Third theme (now in G Major) Closing theme (in C Major, the appropriate key for wrapping things up)
42
What the???? Harmonic swampland!
43
? What the???? ? A cadenza?? (A cadenza is a free section for the soloist in a concerto. This is a sonata, not a concerto!)
44
OK, only joking... Opening idea
45
Transition material “cleansed” and simplified loud then soft ending
46
Loud, athletic ending
