Chronologically, the first of the Leonore overtures is No. 2, composed for a production in Vienna in 1805. The opera was not particularly well received, and Beethoven made extensive revisions in time for a further production in the spring of 1806, and added a revised overture, Leonore No.

  • Living Toys in Thomas Adès' Living Toys
    James Donaldson Draft Living Toys in Thomas Adès’ Living Toys: Transforming the Post-Tonal Topic Topic theory is plagued by a problem: syntax. For Kofi Agawu musical topics ‘point to the expressive domain, but they have no syntax’.1 More recently, William Caplin finds any link between topics and form ‘rather tenuous’, noting that any topical syntax is subservient to tonal syntax and form-functional implications.2 Whilst topic theory can wonderfully increase our understanding of the historical contexts through elucidating how composers may have utilised common style types, grasping how these may relate to formal issues is so far relatively limited. But Agawu and Caplin are concerned with tonal music. What happens in post-tonal music when such strictures are no longer present? How might topics relate to the multitude of reimaginings of harmonic, rhythmic, and timbral syntax? Transformational theory has a complementary issue: choosing what to relate in a transformational network. Micheal Buchler succinctly states that ‘when you can't buy the segmentation, it is awfully difficult to digest the analysis’.3 All transformational analyses strike a delicate balance between prioritising segmentation and network clarity. John Roeder lists guidelines for these object and transformation choices, including: aurally-salient objects, complete object family, prominent and repeated transformations, and application of transformations applied to other objects in the piece. Few works satisfy these requirements in a manner that could be deemed equal; in all analyses the art of balancing aural salience and network neatness can lead to significantly different results. 1 Agawu 1991, 20. 2 Caplin 2005, 113. 1 James Donaldson Draft In conflating these issues, this article proposes that topics—where aural salience is primary—can function as nodes of a transformational network.
