After doing this week's reading in your textbook andlistening to ALL 4 movements of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony,click the above link to begin writing your next journal entry. Your book talks specifically about the concept of cyclic form and how it relates to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.Choose at least one movement (either the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th movement) to compare with the 1st movement, using your ears and your book's listening guides to talk about how they are "linked" together by the use of the short-short-short-LONG motive described by your text. (You might find it helpful to watch or review the bonus video for movement 1 if you're having a hard time grasping what this motive is, exactly.) Can you hear all of the examples of when this motive reoccurs? Are there instances where it's more obvious than others? Thinking back to Haydn's Symphony from last week (an earlier work by one of Beethoven's former teachers), how does this symphony feel or sound different to you? You can describe it in terms of mood or intensity, the way each composer uses the instruments in an orchestra differently, and lots of other musically elemental ways. Just try to be as specific as possible! Entries should be about one to one and a half pages long (or about 3-4 substantial paragraphs), and written in complete sentences. Be as detailed as possible in your descriptions, and you may find it helpful to take notes as you read and listen. As you write, please take into account my comments to you from previous entries. Include your initial observations about and reactions to the music, such as initial personal reactions, what you noticed right away, and what musical elements you "noticed," even if you weren't able to correctly identify or "get" everything on the first listen.You can't be wrong if you're telling me how the music made you feel, or what you thought about as you listened for the first time. Don't forget to incorporate how your reading informs your listening: you can talk about historical context, the composer's biographical information, whichmusical elements are highlighted by your book, and how the book's analysis compares to your own--including things you hear differently, or have questions about.
