mold construction - Form - Philipp Dangas

„Mold and Instrumentation“ [ 1/2 ]

The musical form is presented as the outer form. Then the musical idea is the inner content and the instrumentation can play a decisive role in shaping the form. In addition, the form can make it more penetrating and therefore more understandable. Let's take the abstract thoughts to the top. Then the instrumentation can be seen as a guide to the inner logic.

General information about the structure of mold

All sections of a composition can be individually instrumented or not. The instrumentation can help clarify or obscure the sections. This allows z. B. Realize shape transitions, with more or less contrast. Because of this, the instrumentation can distinguish and connect moldings. But also place them in a larger context.

The structure of mold in the context of „symphonic world music“

The instrumentation can influence the formal construction of a composition. The shape of the composition can be better perceived. Differences must not be confused, between external variety and clarification of the form.

The structure of the mold demonstrated by way of example

In this example, Franz Schubert uses the same instruments throughout the musical process. So just one base color. But he creates gentle contrast between the sections. It changes the functions of the instruments and rearranges the order.
