Analysis

The principles of unity & variety apply to all music, regardless of compositional style or historical period.
Now that you are familiar with the concepts in the first section of the course (Basic Musical Concepts), and

you have seen how they work on different pieces of music, try your hand, mouse, and ears at how they

operate in a music selection that you may not have heard yet.

Your analysis should include:
The number of different musical ideas in the piece (for example, can we say that there are two ideas A and

B? Or is there only one?)
The timings (start and stop times) of the different sections of the piece. (Hint: Listen for changes in musical

ideas and timbre, for example, points when different instruments come in or give way to others.)
How unity and variety are exemplified in those sections through the use of:
a) Dynamics: Where does the music get louder or softer? Is there any apparent reason for those

changes?
b) Timbre: Where do instruments take over the melody or a solo passage?
c) Pitch: What is the general pitch level of the piece? Are there wide variations in pitch level?
