Prepare an approximately three-page double spaced 12 point font analysis of the selected movement. Movement III (Scherzo) from Beethovens Symphony No. 3 Eroica. Analyze it for structure, especially in how it deviates from expectations and how these unique traits are expressive of emotional content. Explicitly use the tools from the Meyer, Ratner, Kivy, and Walton articles in your paper (either using their terminology or through citing them). Are there striking moments that convey meaning? In what ways is the movement expressive of specific emotions? In what ways does the movement engage the imagination? Be sure to maintain objectivity in your discussion of meaning by grounding your assertions in specific musical details and assessment of the movement’s structure.
