jan 1, 1845 - Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 35: Mvts III, IV

Description:

Composer: Louise Farenc
Genre: Symphony

Mvt. 3:
In this sonata form movement, the different melodies (A theme, B theme, their returns, etc.) are played by different instruments and families, thus also changing the tone and presentation of the different themes.

Mvt. 4:
This rondo form (ABACA) movement features a fugue beginning in the high strings and making its way to the woodwinds, driving the music towards a strong cadence that never comes. The piece ends on the high-energy melody played through the strings, ending, finally, in a strong cadence.
