What its lesson teaches

1.8 Hear two sections

Study Reinagle’s Allegretto in C, Op. 1 No. 5. Follow its two repeated sections and compare how each one ends: the first on the dominant, G (bar 8), the second home on C (bar 16). In the separate keyboard model, compare a half cadence ending on V with an authentic cadence V–I, then listen for each kind of arrival in the score.

Technique
  • C major scale, hands separately, 2 octaves
