Examples:

Gaetano Donizetti (1797–1848) was one of the brilliant triumvirate (Donizetti,

Bellini, Rossini) who were primarily responsible for the development of Italian opera
in the first half of the 19th century. Donizetti was quite prolific, composing 67
operas, but only a handful have remained in the modern repertoire. La Fille du
Régiment (The Daughter of the Regiment) was first performed by the Opéra
Comique in Paris, in 1840. The action takes place in the Swiss Tyrol during the
Napoleonic wars. “Chacun le sait” takes place in Act I of the opera. After inducting
a young Tyrolese peasant into their regiment, the grenadiers from the 21st French
Regiment call on Marie to sing the invigorating song of the regiment.

The Klavierstücke (Piano Pieces), Opus 118 was published in 1893, and is typical
of the kind of piano works Brahms was writing during his last years: concise, song-
like pieces, highly expressive and of mature musical substance. The Intermezzo in a
minor, the first piece from this collection, is built on a single motif. A structurally
compact work, it is sometimes referred to as a sonata form in miniature. Brahms’
characteristic fullness of sound is achieved by widely spaced arpeggiated figures,
pedal points in the bass, and the doubling of the melodic line in octaves. His use of
chromatic harmonies gives a sense of tonal ambiguity, even at the end, when the
piece finally resolves on an A Major chord.
