Write an analytical essay on the piece Franz Schubert: Der Erlknig Op. 1 D 328 (1815) After you do this, questions that you should consider are: What are the tonal-functional implications of the harmonic schema? How does the harmonic schema vary? How does the harmonic schema relate to the form of the song? How does the harmonic schema relate to the narrative of the song? Beyond these core questions, the key areas of analytical focus are for you to determine. Additional issues that you might consider are: The relationship between song/poetic form and issues of large-scale tonal design Large-scale tonal design Motivic aspects: repetition, variation/development, association Text-setting The relationship between song/poetic form and issues of motivic recurrence and/or variation The relationship between your analytical findings and the song’s extra-musical themes Agawu, V.
