               1st Mov. (PATHETIQUE)

PIANIST:       VLADIMIR ASHKENAZY

ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

Texture - This piece is in a polyphonic texture.  This piece has
          many variety of textures including thick, thin, and light
          sound.

Melody -  (bar 1-10), there is an introduction of a slower melody
          which will lead to a faster melody in the exposition in
          bar 12.

Rhythm -  The rhythm is fairly straight forward with quite a few
          dotted eighths or sixteenths in (bars)................
          1,2,3,5,7,8,133,134,135,295,296, and 297.

Meter -   The meter is in a common or (4/4) time. However, in the
          exposition, it changes into a cut or (2/2) time in (bars
          12 - 132),  (bars 137 - 294), and (bars 299 - 310).

Tempo -   There are two tempos which are:
               GRAVE and ALLEGRO DI MOLTO E CON BRIO.  
               GRAVE means played with a heavy sound.
               ALLEGRO DI MOLTO means very fast, while E CON BRIO
               is played with a lot of flare and/or fire.

Dynamics - There are too many different dynamics in this piece. 
           I will just name all of the different dynamic markings 
           in it. The following are: (forte-piano, sforzando,
           piano, fortissimo, sforzando-piano, pianissimo, forte,
           cresc. and decresc.

Structure/Form -    The form of this piece is  A,B,A,C,A. with a
                    final ending at (bars 299 - 310.)

Timbre -  The tone colour of this piece is played by the piano,
          which has a very riched played sound in the introduction
          and lightly played in the middle of the piece while the
          ending flies off like the wind to end the first-movement.
