Analysis #1 (20 minutes; 40%) Measures 1-16 from the third movement of Mozart’s Trio Fragment K. 442 are reproduced on the next page. A recording is available online. Please do the following: A. On the score itself (above the violin part), mark any cadences and identify each by type. B. Below the piano staves, label all chords with appropriate Roman numerals and figures. Be careful

to distinguish true bass notes from low notes that merely represent inner voices. C. Below the Roman numerals, add a contextual analysis using the standard T/PD/D labels. D. Diagram the phrase structure on the time-line provided below. A good diagram should depict:

• the number of phrases (and where they begin/end) • cadence type(s) and location(s) • how phrases group together (if they do) • prominent subphrases (if they exist) • symbols to indicate whether phrases are essentially the same or significantly different (if there

are multiple phrases) E. Describe the structure of this excerpt as specifically as possible, being sure to use any applicable

vocabulary. Explain your decisions if necessary.
