conversational: tells a story( 4 voices...child....father....erlkonig.....narrator)
narrator frames story by coming in at the beginning and the end
this was revolutionary because of the piano part
it isn’t a strophic song even though the poem is
music isn’t the same for voice
unusual phrase structure |

During the coda, there is dissolution.
He takes the essence of the material, keeps the foundation, but not the ornamentation.
The dissolution occurs before a cadence.
Inverted counterpoint.
Texture: consists of interesting piano arpeggiation style.
M.13 piano doubles the voice.
Accompanimental line never changes throughout the piece. |

Definition
Off beat rhythms between the piano and voice, creating and instable
relationship between the vocalist and the pianist.
The melody is transferred from the voice to piano and back,
intertwining the two musicians.
The second verse has extreme tonal instability, allowing word
painting and driving the piece towards resolution.
Begins on an unstable I 6-4 chord.
Voice and piano have their own melodies. |

The only piece that is conversational(lyrics)
The part of the male is in E major, and the witch’s key is c major, but she steals his key later in the piece( she is mimicking him, mocking him by stealing his key and words) |

Definition
The piece begins harmonically ambiguous. As the piece develops, the harmony becomes more clear and obvious.
builds antecedent phrases on top of each other(keeps the listener on edge) which reflects the subject of the piece( very paranoid EX:“ if you have a favorite, don’t let it graze alone)
Textural development - the piece starts in a contrapuntal texture and ends with a chordal texture.
The piano accompaniment contains the melody within it. |

key structure is odd. doesn’t depend on diatonic tonal relationship goes down a step abruptly
unusual form A repeats but changes to an unrelated key B which is more stable, then just ends
texture: end es away: prominent rhythm dissolves like his memories( the lyrics are about his memories) |

Definition
solidly in a single key( non -modulatory)
texture: dense but organized (16th note triplets are almost always there)
words: very final “she is yours, she is yours” but the music does not reflect this

Not written in a specific key, is tonal but without having a distinct tonal center ?
Very rhythmically unclear. No specific down beat to follow.
Few specific motifs to follow, they show up for a very short amount of time, but re-appear throughout the piece
