HONORS

• Assignment A - Webern due, 10/21
  • Note regarding this assignment:
  • There are 12 * 4 = 48 pitches in the fragment which means there are four statements (set forms) of the tone-row. This is also an example of klangfarbenmelodie: Webern divides these statements between instruments. When analyzing, do NOT separate pitches that are given to the one instrument and look for similarities/symmetries between these groups of 3 and of 2 + 1 pitches.
• Assignment B - Marteau, due 11/04 replaces Assignment 7; Consult Assignment 7 for details.
