PCC Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Music hw sonata new fixed again wm 4.pdf Spoiler Finally concluding the sonata with an alleluia sequence though abridged, then a lively joyous rondo form piece. the "passion" theme from the first movement reappears in section C. At the end of the piece, the music is brought to a stop by another chant (see context below) before resuming the living tempo triumphantly to conclude the sonata. Though there is some skill issue with my playing lol... Context Spoiler "Regina Caeli", or "Queen of Heaven", whom Christ took flesh from, is a chant emphasizing the Lord's resurrection. It replaces the ordinary "Angelus" prayer during Easter season. It forms the basis of the first theme of the movement. https://www.gregorian-chant-hymns.com/hymns-2/regina-caeli-simple.html MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Hw4 maybe better > next PDF hw sonata new fixed again wm 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hey @PCC, I really find the alternation between religious chant and folkloric rondo interesting. The movement is quite difficult to play esp. b.11 to 14, good job on that! The texture in b.67 reminds me of the finale of Waldstein. The counterpoint in b.86 is quite crafty with the canon of both the inversion and rectus! I hope it stays longer haha. Where does the rondo theme come from? Is that a quotation of the chant or just a new theme? If it’s a new theme I may hope it’s more related to the chant section! Overall I like this piece. I think there are lots of quotations throughout the whole sonata and it just stirs me up a little since I have a goldfish’s memory LoL! Thx for sharing!

Like most Beethoven’s pieces, no lol Ty for commenting on the whole sonata! I won’t say it’s particularly groundbreaking but it’s certain a more personal composition.
