More Harmonic Dictations for fun and practice

Here are some various harmonic progressions of varying lengths that make use of viiº as a substitute for V, “inappropriate” IV/iv, modulation to v (minor V), Neopolitans and everything else that you have learned last term up to last week.

The roman numerals are indicated in the file below. Also practice dictating the outer voices as that will be required as part of Friday’s midterm. #4 is a Harmonic/melodic dictation where the chord progression is arpeggiated. I would encourage you to listen to these near an instrument so you can check your work.

Hello. Hi. Hey. Yo.

I’ve got a bunch of example that everyone can practice on. They are all short little 3 chord deals in familiar patterns. Some have V, some have viiº, some have V7 and some have viiº7 in different possible inversions. There are 12 examples below. See if you can get all of them. This will help you prepare for Friday’s written section of the midterm.

Shanley’s sections Beethoven hmwk due Monday

Hi.

We went over this a bit on Friday, describing the form of this movement from Beethoven’s Op. 26. It’s a ternary form. Please listen to the movement (it begins at 11:53 on this recording. It’s the 3rd movement if you are listening to your own recording) while you follow along in your score.

As you listen mark where you hear authentic cadences (either IAC or PAC) and make a note of what the two chords are. ie what key does he cadence in.

Please, for the love of all that is good, don’t do a full Roman Numeral Analysis. Just do as detailed a form diagram as you can, and then make note of what keys Beethoven moves through via the cadences. Don’t worry about how he gets there.

What I want you to get out of this is to listen for the form and how things are phrased, and of course how the overall tonal structure works in general. If you have any questions please e-mail me before Sunday night.

Beethoven Op. 26:iii

Beethoven Piano Sonata 12 Ab major, Funeral march Op 26 Barenboim

And now for something completely different:
