E. Analysis. Be sure to play as much as you can of each excerpt.


1. This passage modulates from f# minor to Ab major by way of E major. The bass notes
are found above the "Ped." markings-the other notes in the bass clef are arpeggiations
into inner voices. Label all the chords, including common chords for both modulations.

2. This excerpt begins in g minor. Label all the chords.

"--" • Beethoven, Sonata Op. 13, I

3. This excerpt is from the end of the exposition and the beginning of the develop-
ment of a movement in sonata form (review pp. 332-334). The final cadence of
the last B theme is shown in the first few measures of the excerpt (in E~ major).
The music then leads to a modulation to C minor in the first ending and to A
minor in the second ending. Notice that the sonority first heard in m. 76 is used
again twice, each time in a different way. (Bonus question : what other sonority
in these measures is treated enharmonically?)
