Schubert

[potty64]

Anybody studying classical music? If so, how would you describe the musical form of Schubert's Adagio in G major'? (Grade 8)

A lovely little piece!

I found this brief description on t'internet. You might find one or two useful comments here :-

"In 1815, Schubert composed the Adagio in G major D. 178. Though there are two known versions of this work, the second is extant only as a fragment. The first version of 8 April 1815 was cast in a tripartite song form (A-B-A) and boasts not only interesting harmonics, but also pianistic brilliance provided by dazzling interjections which the Schubert biographer Alfred Einstein once called 'little virtuoso coquetries'. "

Totally bewildered by technical issues but anyway, it's fine & thanks for all yr advice! No doubt I'll come across more probs & I hope yr there to help AGAIN!!

Thanks for your reply and the update on the scanner. It's usually the young 'uns who are up to speed on things technical, isn't it?
BTW, did you get your indecipherable download gobbledegook sorted out (http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Qu

What about your digital switchover - tomorrow's the day, isn't it?

Hi Michael, Just returned from the flash floods in Alnwick Northumberland!! Here's a prob for you! I saved my various documents on a memory stik but when I open any of them up, it's indecipherable. I need it to be in RICH FORMAT but how do I get it??! TV is OK as it's a digital tele tho' I think the scart lead is loose as when I go to SKY it cuts off but comes back when I shake the tele!!
