Hello forum members, I'm just about to start an analysis of a piece of music for my Module 1 Exam in January (Friday 13th :( <_< ) I've chosen to analyse the Chopin Polonaise No.6 in A flat Op.53, but how can you describe use of instrumentation and harmony? I need to get this done within 5 weeks otherwise I'll fail Module 1! :(

Any help is appreciated!

I'd help but I don't have the score!

Instrumentation- is it just for piano? :blink:

Well, yes, It's one of Chopin's masterpieces for piano. Wrote EVERYTHING for piano with the exceptions of

Grande Polonaise Brilliante Op.2, Grande Duo Concertante and Sonata in G minor Op.65 for Cello and Piano

2 Piano Concertos Op.11 and Op.22 and a couple other works for piano and Orchestra

Variations on a Theme by Rossini for Flute and Piano

A few songs

A couple of piano duet works including a rondo.

Bar them...he wrote exclusively for the piano.

ok not an expert but look at your score and think about simple things

Harmony: Is it conventional? Classical? Concordant/discordant? Uses 7ths? diminished? How quick is the rate of harmonic progression (how often does it change chord)? Does it change quicker in other places?

Instrumentation: How is the piano used? full range? pedal? dynamics?

Don't know much about either sorry, but it might be a start!
