Brandenburg Concerto No.5 in D major
dynamics
harpsichord's aren't touch-sensitive
for a louder sound, must play a 'fuller' chord (e.g. a diminished 7th)
no dynamic markings
when a louder sound, it's because more instruments are playing, 'thickening' the texture
rhythm/tempo/time sig.
syncopation
2/4 time sig,
simple time sig. but feels compound because of triplets
allegro
fast/brisk in Italian
lots of quaver triplet rhythms
genre
written by Johann Sebastian Bach
concerto
Italian style of music with 3 movements (studying 3rd movement)
written in 1700s (Baroque)
gigue style
lively, spritely, fast moving French dance
this is a historically informed performance
trying to make it as similar to how it would have originally been performed as possible
same instruments, techniques etc.
structure
ABA ternary form
1st and second section are 78 bars long (because they're exact copies) (in key D major)
B section is much longer (bar 79-232)
varied version of original idea (in relative minor-B)
ritornello form (little return)
music keeps coming back to original/opening idea (motif)
melody
variants of melody played in piece (e.g in different instruments)
real answer (second A section)
lots of triplet rhythms in melody
lots of rising/falling sequences
immitation
some syncopation
instrumentation
concerto grosso (group of soloists with accompanying orchestra)
concertino (soloists)
violin solo
harpsichord solo
Baroque flute
ripieno (accompaniment)
violin
viola
harpsichord
contrabasso
violoncello
texture
polyphonic/contrapuntal
based on fugato form
specific type of polyphonic structure with loosely applied principles of fuge form and some of the organisation
two-part texture which is often imitative
Dialoguing
call and response between soloist and accompanying musicians
harmony/tonality
lots of tonic/dominant pedal throughout
key is D major
modulates to A major in bar 14
transient modulations (e.g. bar 58-78). nearly all mods. to closely related keys
B section in B minor
lots of modulations (mainly to f sharp)
figured bass in accompaniment (harpsichord-ripieno)
