20th and 19th Century Music Comparison

Comparative analysis of twentieth and nineteenth ascorbic acid orchestral work Musicology Subtopic 1 I entertain decided to relatively analyse the pieces Pia nary(prenominal)Concerto zero(prenominal) 1 in D diminished by Friedrich Kalkbrenner and philharmonic no. 1 in G major(ip) by Felix Draeseke. Fridrich Kalkbrenners composition, Piano Concerto n sensation 1 in D minor is a nineteenth cytosine work, and Felix Draesekes composition, Symphony no. 1 in G major is a twentieth century work. As the aim of the task is to comp be the two works, I have chosen to use the set format of columns to effectively distinguish these contrasts and/or similarities. PITCHPiano Concerto No. 1 in D minor by Friedrich Kalkbrenner Symphony no. 1 in G major by Felix Draeseke * nonaged key * At the arrest of the piece, the string section comes in with a melodic episode, shifting up 2 tones and then leaping knock down to the third note, creating a motif at the introduction. * The modal is sprig htly rondel in the later half of the first movement.

This creates further melodies, making the grain thicker, richer and making it sound like a wash of melodies. * The instruments pile in, one by one, to a crescendo near the start of the piece. This also includes a thicker caryopsis being created through the techniques in which the instruments are being played. * The texture would be described glistening and dazzling, with very little profundity.
