1 1 Intentional Actions: Identifying Musical Agents in Schubert s Piano Sonata in A, D. 959 John Peterson peter2jr@jmu.edu James Madison University SMT 2014 (Milwaukee, WI) Figure 1 Definitions of Musical Forces from Larson (2012) Force Definition Gravity The tendency of a note (heard as above a stable position ) to descend (85). Magnetism The tendency of an unstable note to move to the closest stable pitch, a tendency that grows stronger as we get closer to that goal (88). Inertia The tendency of a pattern of motion to continue in the same fashion, where the meaning of same depends on how that pattern is represented in musical memory (96). Category Gesture Unexpected Event Contradiction of Musical Forces Change of State Repetition/ Restatement Conflict Figure 2 Categories of Intentionality Definition A musical figure, lasting about two seconds or less, which consistently recurs in a recognizable form, and which is therefore marked as significant. A musical figure or passage that is marked by virtue of the fact that it somehow defies the listener s expectations. Motion in opposition to Steve Larson s musical forces: gravity, inertia, or magnetism. Occurs when some dimension of the music has been altered. Occurs when material is repeated either locally (repetition) or in a more large-scale sense (restatement) Occurs when two oppositional musical parameters are presented simultaneously such that competing ideas are suggested to the listener. Example 1 Gesture X (I, m. 1) Example 2 Gesture Y (I, m. 8) Figure 3 Foreground Graph of Schubert, Piano Sonata in A, D. 959/I, mm

3 Figure 4 Narrative Summary of Schubert, Piano Sonata in A, D First Movement (sonata form) Agents introduced, idea of tension between agents established mm. 1 4: introduction of agents. Voice-Leading Agent (V-L Agent) interrupts hypermeter initiated by Gestural Agent. mm (recapitulation): In P zone of exposition, fundamental line descended from 5 3. In recapitulation, motion from 5 6 delays descent until after S begins. mm (S zone): V-L Agent covers descent from 5. mm (S zone): Gestural Agent regains control of piece Second Movement (ternary form) Tension continues mm. 1 8 (A): Gestural Agent begins movement with 3, V-L Agent leaps above gestural agent in m. 5. Note absence of gesture in m. 7 before it returns in m. 8. mm (A/B): V-L Agent reaches over Kopfton 3 in B section, moving from 6 to 5. Gestural Agent is largely absent in B section.
4 Figure 4 Continued 4 Third Movement (Scherzo and Trio) V-L Agent influences deeper structure mm (Scherzo): Gestural Agent begins phrase with X-related gesture in a sentential phrase structure that establishes A as tonic (mm. 1 4); V-L Agent intervenes, forcing the phrase to cadence in B minor (m. 8). mm (Trio): Gestural Agent returns at beginning of trio and remains present for its entirety. The trio s key (IV in A major) may have been influenced by the V-L Agent since it supports a large-scale 6 neighbors the scherzo s Kopfton 5 (see middleground graph of this movement in Figure 5). Fourth Movement (Sonata Rondo) V-L and Gestural Agents synthesized mm. 1 6 (=mm ; A section): V-L Agent appears in m. 9, but does not disrupt melody, which returns to 3. The passage continues in A major. m. 1 (A): Gestural Agent begins movement. Note that melody arpeggiates past 5 to 1 avoiding V-L Agent s intervention. mm (end of C): F major (VI) false recap understood as subordinate to C major (III); motive buried in inner voice. mm (end of mvmt): Gestural Agent and V-L Agent are unified in a single motion.
