Favorite Subject

This year has been the most interesting I've had since I'm in university, because I have very intresting subjects and really good teachers, and I have learned a lot. But if I should choose only one subject, I choose “Analysis“.

In the analysis classes, we study how music is structured, identify motives, phrases, sections and how music is articulated as a discourse.

The contents of the subject are based on the study of musical forms. During this semester we have studied binary forms, song form, ternary forms (simple and compound) and the rondó form. We study this forms. We study the musical forms by reading and analyzing scores of great composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin.

I like this subject because a new world of knowledge was opened for me. Is very fascinating understand how the musicals works are maded and the functionality of which parts, phrases, etc. Is very fascinating understand how the music are naked and the functionality of differents parts, phrases, tonality, chords, repetitions, etc.

Apart from this degree, I study orchestral conducting on my own and this knowledge has become an invaluable weapon to face the study of the works.
