Keywords:
Tchaikovsky, Album for Children, musical form, harmonic, tonal, romantic, miniature, piece, op. 39Abstract
The present paper analyses, from a harmonic and tonal point of view the first piece (Morning Prayer) of the cycle Album for Children, op. 39 by P. I. Tchaikovsky. After the presentation of the historical and creative conjuncture in which the author wrote the pieces of this cycle, this is followed by the presentation of the shape. Then, within the formal sections are discussed the tonal and the harmonic solutions adopted by author. We ask to pay attention to the degree of complexity and the internal logic which may attain a Romantic miniature piece, composed in a choral style.
