jan 1, 1689 - Sonata da Chiesa Op. 3 No. 11 (Mvt II)
Description:
The second movement of Op. 3, #11 (sonata da chiesa) illustrates Corelli’s use of tonality.a. The emphasis on tonic/dominant statements of the main theme establishes their
relationship.
b. The use of sequences through the cycle of fifths builds upon these expectations.
c. The drive inherent in this process yields a “dynamically unfolding formgenerating process.”
d. These processes engage the mind of the listener differently from previous
instrumental works; the end result is an aggressive music that does not allow for a passive experience.
