I have to write an analytical paper on the piece Ach ich fuhl’s from Mozart’s The Magic Flute. i also have to give a roman numeral analysis for the piece on a different paper that is linked. (i will tip extra for help on that.) there are 9 points that my Prof. wants me to cover
(THIS IS FOR THEORY 2)
1. Who was mozart? (when was he born, where did he die?)
2. In what year did he write this piece? What were the circumstances?
3. What is happening in the drama when this is sung? and who is singing.
4. Explain or analyze the structure of the poetic text, including rhyme scheme, meter , and grouping of the lines based on the rhyme scheme.
5. Looking at the lyrics as Mozart presents them, which lines does he repeat? make a comparison of some sort with the Schickener poetry on one side and the way it is presented in the pathway Mozart’s aria takes through it.
6. show the cadences mozart’s aria has as they relate to the poetic text. Do cadences always come at the ends of the Band D lines, or anything like that? Does the aria divide in half the way the poetic text does?
7. Discuss the strength of the cadences you found, including deceptive and evaded the use of the various cadence types interact with representations of the text.
8. what key does the aria work its way through? How does changing key interact with the poetic text or its meaning if it all?
9. Give a complete roman-numeral analysis for the piece on a printout of the score. (See attached, and I will tip extra for help on that or for you to just do it for me.)
