My analysis of Beethoven's 3rd Symphony "Eroica" as performed by Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen continues with Movement 2, the Funeral March:
Part 1 - Funeral March (C minor)
A - March theme
A1 - expansion of theme (oboe)
B - Eb Major theme lightens the mood, before relapse into seriousness, leading to Open Cadence
A
B1
A
Codetta into Open Cadence
Part 2 "Redemption" in C Major
Redemption Theme
Redemption theme development
Heavy mood returns leading to Open Cadence
Part 3 Funeral March with Fugue interlude
A
Fugue section - subject based on inverted B motif
Fugue reaches a breaking point - leasing into an Open Cadence
March returns, briefly - before it is sabotaged by low attacks
Part 4 - Funeral March (3rd time)
A
B
Codetta - Deceptive Cadence
Part 5 - Coda - starts with string ticks...
Redemption theme variation
Redemption theme disintegrates into march
Final march iteration
Movement 3, Scherzo/Trio:
Movement III
SCHERZO
Introduction - duple string chatter
A - Scherzo theme in Bb Major
A - in F Major, Chatter reduces to low staccatos
A - small then big
B - Syncopations in Eb
Cadence phrase leads to Open Cadence
Scherzo repeat, 2nd time Cadence phrase leads to Closed Cadence
TRIO

C1
D (repeat)
C1 (repeat)
SCHERZO (return)
Coda
(Analysed with the assistance of Robert Greenberg's Teaching Company Wordscore guide. I differed from his analysis here and there but the section breaks are pretty close to his)
Finale tomorrow...
