#think 'twinkle twinkle little star' vs 'the (english) alphabet song' (the tune is by mozart originally!)

category 5 "realized my set class analysis is wrong and now i can't make this post-tonal variation say something noteworthy relative to the theme" event
#teaposts#not fandom#for the super-not-musical folks in the crowd: AAAAAAAAAAA#for the moderately musical folks in the crowd: the piece i'm analyzing includes a theme and variations#and in classical music that usually means the basic tune stays the same in the variations but the rhythm or harmony changes#think 'twinkle twinkle little star' vs 'the (english) alphabet song' (the tune is by mozart originally!)#however comma. composers did a lot of crazy shit in the 20th century. which is when my piece is from#so the relationship between theme and variation is not so simple here. the variations have very little to do with rhythm and harmony#and even (at face value) very little to do with the actual theme you hear#i've come up with other reasons that the previous variations are in fact related to the theme#my original reason for the variation i'm talking about now was that it uses almost the same notes as the theme but in a different structure#but apparently i analyzed it wrong and the notes in this variation actually aren't as similar to the theme's as i thought#and i'm having a hard time getting it to come back together again#so. um. AAAAAAA
