Another report of my group was on Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in Eb, Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor, K. 457, and Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14, Op. 131.
I did not perform but shared an analysis of Mozart’s piano sonata. My experience in preparing for what I was going to share was that I found it difficult to do a musical analysis on my own (the non-imagery/flowery kind of analysis). It would take me quite a long while (and it still does) to understand the relationships of phrases, main themes or lines and harmonies and patterns such as rhythmically or melodically as when there would be a transposition or retrograde or inversion. Unlike some of the students in the college who, when I talked to with a copy of a score, fascinated me with how they’re able to point out modulations and developments just with an altered note, or fascinated me with their skill in solfeggio that makes it easier for them to identify main or secondary themes. Anywaaays, because of all this, my experience in preparing my report was mostly spent on the internet, looking for published analyses of the piece.
