Methods that establish the key for a particular piece can be complicated to explain and vary over music history. [citation needed] However, the chords most often used in a piece in a particular key are those that contain the notes in the corresponding scale, and conventional progressions of these chords, particularly cadences, orient the listener around the tonic.
Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...

Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Op. 4, is a string sextet in one movement composed by Arnold Schoenberg in 1899. Composed in just three weeks, it is considered his earliest important work. [ 1 ]
The 14th caprice displays the violin's ability to voice chords. It contains many triple and quadruple stops. Stylistically, the piece imitates brass fanfares. 15: E minor: Posato: Caprice 15 is in ABA form. The "A" section is in E minor and starts with a melody in octaves followed by a variation in 32nd notes.
The solo violin enters early in the movement playing fairly rapid arpeggios that gradually extend to encompass the full range of the instrument. There follows a brief repeat of the opening chord motif, then the brass section enters with a pattern of tightly harmonized chords from which the violin draws a high melody. The piece then plunges into ...
The compositions for violin and piano D 384, 385 and 408 were named Sonata in Schubert's autographs. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] They were named Sonatina when published posthumously as Op. 137 in 1836. [ 7 ] Since these works are modest in size—rather to be compared to Mozart's violin sonatas than to Beethoven's —the "Sonatina" diminutive stuck to them.
