Color-Coded Analysis of Beethoven's Music

Here is a handy index to all works which I have applied a kind of "visual breakdown" of structure. Basically I used sonata form terminology but even if you're rough on that, the visual breaks can act as a harmonic roadmap. Most of these structural breakdowns started out from analysis texts written by Greenberg, Tovey,, Harding, Alan Rich and the Kalmus Orchestra Scores, and then I "corrected" them (which means I'm possibly "wrong", but I marked out a certain theme section the way I felt it anyways...).

There are 3 kinds of analysis methods here:

1. Color-coded Analysis:  Each movement is shown in waveform in a single picture with sections color-coded like a diagram.  The cursor-line moves through the colored sections as the movement progresses to indicate where in the structure the music is. These are my favorite type and are probably the least distracting.
2. Annotated Performance: Underneath footage of a live performance, the sections of the movement are labelled with a play-by-play commentary. These give the most information, but may be a bit too detailed for some.
3. Annotated Waveform: Waveform plays and when sections of the movement occur info "pops up".  Least amount of info and usually just 1 movement and not entire works.

All links below refer to "Color-coded Analysis" YouTube videos, unless otherwise indicated.
"Orig. post" goes to a blog page where I first wrote about the video.

The Annotations feature has been discontinued on the YouTube platform so the section labels for my "Color-coded analysis" videos unfortunately no longer appear. However they can be found on pages linked from here:
