    Haydn's Dramatic Dissonances: Chromaticism and Formal Process in His String Quartets, Opp. 9 and 17

    Most scholarship on the string quartets of Joseph Haydn favors the music he composed from Op. 33 (1781), citing evolutionary progress in his style according to limited criteria, such as voice equality and formal symmetry. Looking beyond this historical narrative, I examine Haydn's compositions from the 1760s-70s in greater detail, focusing on the string quartets, Opp. 9 and 17 (1769-71). In these quartets, I investigate how destabilizing shifts to the parallel minor, bold chromatic gestures, and passages of intense chromatic voice-leading are used to disrupt the phrasing and heighten the tension of sonata-form movements, treating chromaticism under the rubric of form-generating dissonance. In so doing, I deemphasize traditional definitions of "sonata form"-long recognized as inadequate for describing Haydn's approach-in favor of highlighting the role of dissonan

    Variation (music)

    Musical form

    "Theme and Variations" redirects here. For the ballet by George Balanchine, see Theme and Variations (ballet).

    "Elaboration (music)" redirects here. For Ausarbeiten, see Prolongation.

    In music, variation is a formal technique where material is repeated in an altered form. The changes may involve melody, rhythm, harmony, counterpoint, timbre, orchestration or any combination of these.

    Variation is often contrasted with musical development, which is a slightly different means to the same end. Variation depends upon one type of presentation at a time, while development is carried out upon portions of material treated in many different presentations and combinations at a time.

    Mozart's Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" (1785), a French folk song known in the English-speaking world as "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", exemplifies a number of common variation techniques. Here are the first eight ba
