[Smt-talk] String rep for Schenkerian analysis?

[Donna Doyle]

Dear Deborah Stein,

Following up on Wm Bejamin's suggestions, and presuming your students  
have had chromatic harmony,
I recommend the slow mvt of Haydn's quartet Op 74, No 3 (found in  
Burkhart's anthology). In his introductory
comments, Burkhart alludes to the fabulous chromatic voice exchange  
between the opening chord and m. 8.
The top-line arpeggiation between mm. 1 and 8 is striking, too, and,  
of course, the extended second phrase contains
the second key's five-line descent. (Burkhart discussed this piece in  
detail in his Grad Center analysis classes.)
Mm 1-22 can be studied alone, or then placed in the context of the  
whole movement--there's plenty of material
on various levels. Not to mention that the sheer sound of the piece is  
to-die-for beautiful!

Best regards,
Donna Doyle
