iLocker: musth212assignment1.pdf
To facilitate discussion of this piece on Wednesday, you can email me your answers to parts 2 and 3, and either copy the harmonies to your anthology or make a copy of this sheet to keep. You can also scan your RN analysis and email it to me, but please use my gmail address (kkothman) if emailing me an attachment.
A recording of the excerpt is available through the Naxos Music Library. Log onto Naxos in another tab or window, then click on the appropriate link:

(If neither of these links works properly, logon to the Naxos Music Library and enter “8.550225” (without the quotes) into the search box.)
1. On the score provide a Roman numeral analysis for the first twelve measures. Use your best judgment to decide what (if any) tones are non-chord tones. Label the harmonies as best you can, realizing that at least some of progressions will not make functional sense within a common practice style.
2. Why would you not say that the tonality of e minor is established? (Give at least two reasons.) How is the tonality of e minor implied?
3. What other tonal areas are implied within the first twelve measures? Be specific about where in the score, and how.
