Question

In this activity, you will listen to Die Forelle by Shubert. In a brief essay (about 100 to 150 words), describe how you can hear strophic form, and a through-composed form. Having both of these forms creates a modified strophic form. Also, listen for the postlude at the end.

Answer 1

Answer:

Die Forelle" (German for "The Trout"), Op. 32, D 550. is a lied, or song, composed in early 1817 for solo voice and piano with music by the Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797–1828). Schubert chose to set the text of a poem by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, first published in the Schwäbischer Musenalmanach in 1783. The full poem tells the story of a trout being caught by a fisherman, but in its final stanza reveals its purpose as a moral piece warning young women to guard against young men. When Schubert set the poem to music, he removed the last verse, which contained the moral, changing the song's focus and enabling it to be sung by male or female singers. Schubert produced six subsequent copies of the work, all with minor variations.

Answer 2

Answer:Schubert's Die Forelle is one of his most famous works that is set to a text about a trout that swims upstream, only to be caught by an angler. Die Forelle follows a modified strophic form as AABA', in which the first two stanzas follow the same music (A and A) and the third (BA') is set to different music. It starts with a short piano introduction that repeats in the interlude after the first and second stanzas, and as a postlude after the third. This composition is said to be strophic because all the verses are set to the same music in the first and second stanzas.

Through-composed, as opposed to strophic, form is used to describe music where different verses are set to different music. In the case of Die Forelle, the third stanza is set to a different kind of music from the first and second; therefore, this part is Through-composed.

Die Forelle in its entirety is a composition that is both strophic (the same) and at the same time Through-composed (varied).
