When considering that the original publisher's title was the horrible grammatical calamity Momens musicals, the idea that Schubert might have come up with or even approved the title becomes wholly unbelievable. The songs were based on poems written by German poet, Wilhelm Muller and is the second song cycle Schubert composed based on Muller's poems. But when the third measure exactly reiterates its own upbeat as its downbeat, and follows this accent-concealing repetition with a leap up to 1 on its second beat, the listener will probably hear the initiating upbeat as the downbeat of a 6/8 measure, followed by another 6/8 measure beginning on the 2.11 Retrospectively, this listener will experience confusion (even if in the form of poignant questioning) about the metrical placement of the opening gestures as well. Is this new version the definitive edition? The standard French forms are now usually used moments (instead of momens), and musicaux (instead of musicals). 15Schachter, "A Schenkerian Analysis," in Yeston, 177. V: Allegro vivace 2/4 The harmonies of measures 10 and 11 are in fact ambiguous enough that Carl Schachter and John Rothgeb disagree over the proper identification of the chords themselves.7 Rothgeb hears an E-major triad, V of A minor, supporting a melodic b1 in measure 10, echoed as an E-minor triad when the same melody recurs in measure 11, and thus paralleling the way measure 5 creates a minor-mode echo of measure 4. - the website for classical pianists, piano teachers, students and piano music enthusiasts. 3: AN ANALYSIS Mark Holland [The author has studied theory and analysis with Ernst Oster and Carl Schachter.

The "moments musicaux" I have described are disjunctive, unexpected, usually disruptive of some established aspect of musical continuity even when they play an integrative role. But the first two pieces in the set bearing this title seem to question the nature of this continuity itself. Andantino in A major. But that harmony, even in this violence, remains an illusion: it will disappear before any further E-minor progression confirms it. Schubert's well-known collection of "Moments Musicaux" was published in 1828, during the last year of the composer's life, but some of the pieces date back to the beginning of the 1820s. McCreless' analysis, very perceptive about the rhythmic and tonal issues it addresses, hardly addresses the five-part form of the piece at all. Nevertheless, though Schachter's analysis makes good sense, I cannot bring myself to hear a C-major chord as controlling measure 11 while this measure sounds. 2See the preface (Vorwort) of Series VII, Division 2, Volume 5 (Klavierstcke II) of Franz Schubert, Neue Ausgabe smtlicher Werke (Basel, London: Brenreiter, 1984), 11.

Schubert, Moment musical in A-flat Major, Op. A move to E major during the second half of the minuet-proper (as opposed to the trio section) sounds somehow full of resignation; the modulation back to A flat a few measures later is absolutely heartwarming. 25.

In addition to their domestic and educational importance, these delightful and melodic works still appear in concert halls, and have been memorably recorded by Radu Lupu, Maria Joo Pires and Alfred Brendel (my top choice, available here), among others. Each of these pieces, in its own way, resists to an unusual degree the hierarchization of moments that ordinarily produces a sense of direction in tonal music. 73 Title: Six Moments Musicaux, Op. The timing between each of the Moments Musicaux is a question of breath, drama, and the performers ability to assume the required role, however abruptly. At the return of this B section's main idea (m. 51), the point corresponding to the return of the opening in the A section, a kind of negative "moment musical" occurs: G minor replaces G major for the antecedent phrase, as if to question the memory of that return along with the self-assurance achieved in this B section.

The drive of the sixteenths persists until a fermata at measure 61 signals a stop and transformation.

While the "Wanderer" Fantasy draws instrumental music from song, these first two Moments Musicaux transform instrumental music, music that begins lyrically but hesitantly, more fully into song. The B sections of both pieces contrast markedly, both achieving in their greater simplicity a much clearer sense of tonal direction, a continuity more like that of simple song.

This changes the emotional color from delicate to ominous. In the course of this meditation the lyric speaker achieves an insight, faces up to a tragic loss, comes to a moral decision, or resolves a moral problem. This new music remains quietly within the same tempo. Again, this trait of swapping major for minor, common throughout the work, turns our emotions inside out.
