    plays at the end. The cymbals play prominent at the end as well. The melody includes both, scales
    (conjunction) and arpeggios (disjunct). The melody covers a wide range from C# to A. The trumpet
    uses the top to bottom of its range.

    Gustav Mahler Extract 2


    The tempo is adagio. The melody moves in long note values- mostly minims. There are several prominent
    dotted rhythms. The dynamics are quite quiet throughout. Mahler has instructed the strings to play
    pizzicato. The violins melody is smooth, legato and the strings play pizzicato. The strings play this section.
    The violins play the main melody; the double bases play pizzicato accompaniment. The melody consists of a
    conjunction movement. There is a lot of repetition. The melody spreads over an octave range. The violins
    play in their lowest register.

    Robert Schumann
    The tempo is allegro vivace. The semi quaver movement is almost continuous throughout. The dynamics
    starts at metro forte then there is a crescendo to forte. This piece is clearly articulated, it is mostly staccato.
    The melody consists of both, scales (conjunct) and arpeggios (disjunct). You might talk about the 'constant
    repetition of the opening material.' The melody covers from A to (high) D. It uses the bottom and the top of
    the violins range.

    Igor Stravinsky
    The tempo is allegro. The rhythm is irregular, unexpected, settling. The dynamics are fff. The huge
    orchestra plays at the beginning. The brass is quite prominent. A piano is used as part of the orchestra. The
    melds has both, scales (conjunct) and arpeggios (disjunct) movements. The melody covers a wide range.
    Some of the melody is quite ugly and angular.
