Small correction on Op.10 No.1 #16

Closed napulen closed 3 years ago

napulen commented 3 years ago

In mm.147 of Beethoven Op.10 No.1

Tonal context is f. The current annotation is Db major triad (VI), but the harmony is a D diminished triad (or half-diminished seventh).

Given the modulation on the next measure, iio/v should would work. I think C makes sense as chord tone, thus iiø7/v, but iio/v seems good as well.

Another small correction. I think the change of key in the development was intended to be done at mm106 and not mm109

Thanks for this!

I've checked this out and (for reference) the key change is indeed missing in the original dataset, so the I is just a continuation to support the inclusion of a a form label at the moment. In short, we do need your correction of that original.

Second, I've taken to keeping a record of all such divergences from Chen+Su by putting a note in the line below and/or keeping a separate copy of their analysis (when the analyses get very different, it's time to start a new file).

Finally, for the harmonies in this passage, I agree we could improve the reading and have just put in a commit of my own on top of this one with to capture the shape of the sequence with a few pivot chords. That's a change of reading, and so enough for a new file. I've take the liberty of also putting your name in as analyst - I hope you agree. :)

I completely forgot about checking the original Chen+Su annotation, I was just staring at the score at that moment. Thank you for keeping track of this!

Thank you for adding me as an analyst :).
