This blog was created in Spring 2020 for level-1 music theory and ear training classes at West Liberty University. We're continuing to use this blog through level 4.
This is your last semester of Theory and Ear Training! Make it your best one!
Content is good, Kaitlyn. The chord analysis seems fine (assuming a key signature) … it’s a little tricky with Bartok because he sometimes uses traditional chords but in a non-traditional way. (BTW, it would be better to include the key signature and clefs, even if you have to write/copy it in; it’s kind of disconcerting to have the chords “look like” they’re potentially analyzed wrong, and to keep track of what the clefs should be)
I like your use of the annotation (when the RNs appear, and the boxes) … these are very helpful to the clarity of your analysis.
