[Smt-talk] accellerandi-pieces

[Eric B. Chernov]

Though not "large-scale," two favorite examples of increased rhythmic
values in the manner several on the list have pointed out are the first
movement of C.P.E. Bach's Symphony #1 (D Major) from the 4 Symphonies in
12 Obbligato Parts, Wq. 183, and Osmin's rage aria ("Solche hergelaufne
Laffen") from Act I of Die Entführung aus dem Serail. The latter is
particularly clever, as it perfectly embodies Osmin's character: like a
child having a temper tantrum, he is paralyzed (stuck on one note), starts
to violently shake while staying in place (trill), until finally,
uncontrolled, he lashes out (scale collapsing down the octave). Brilliant.
