AT YOUR OWN TEMPO

Mozart Symphony No. 25 — Titan theme practice

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Classical

Easy#mozart#classical#c-major#left-hand-chords

The C-major Titan-watch melody practice version from our earlier chat. This is the familiar adapted theme, not a transcription of the dramatic opening of the first movement or the complete symphony. The earlier chat supplied the RH only; all LH accompaniments here are newly added, simple practice harmonies.

C4 is middle C; C5 is the higher C. The unmarked melody from the earlier chat is placed around C4 here; the lower B beside C4 is B3. Columns show note events rather than equal beats. Follow the tune’s rhythm and hold notes where indicated. Sustain each LH entry until the next one. The visible LH row follows the selector above.

1. Opening — play twice

Join all three lines as one phrase. Hold the last D4 a little longer. Repeat the complete three-line phrase once.

LH1: C3         -    -    -
LH2: C3+G3      -    -    -
LH3: C3+E3+G3   -    -    -
RH:  C4         B3   C4   D4
LH1: C3         -    -
LH2: C3+G3      -    -
LH3: C3+E3+G3   -    -
RH:  C4         D4   E4
LH1: G3         -    -    -    -    -
LH2: G3+D4      -    -    -    -    -
LH3: G3+B3+D4   -    -    -    -    -
RH:  D4         E4   G4   F4   E4   D4

2. Higher answer

Hold the first C4 briefly, then play the three higher C5 notes. Continue straight into the descending line.

LH1: C3         -    -    -
LH2: C3+G3      -    -    -
LH3: C3+E3+G3   -    -    -
RH:  C4         C5   C5   C5
LH1: C3         -    F3         -    -
LH2: C3+G3      -    F3+C4      -    -
LH3: C3+E3+G3   -    F3+A3+C4   -    -
RH:  C5         B4   A4         G4   F4

3. Three A notes

Play the repeated A4 notes clearly; continue with G4–F4–E4–D4.

LH1: F3         -    -    G3         -    -    -
LH2: F3+C4      -    -    G3+D4      -    -    -
LH3: F3+A3+C4   -    -    G3+B3+D4   -    -    -
RH:  A4         A4   A4   G4         F4   E4   D4

4. Closing turn

Join these three lines. The B before the last C4 is B3. Hold the final C4.

LH1: F3         -    -    -
LH2: F3+C4      -    -    -
LH3: F3+A3+C4   -    -    -
RH:  F4         F4   F4   F4
LH1: C3         -    -
LH2: C3+G3      -    -
LH3: C3+E3+G3   -    -
RH:  E4         G4   C5
LH1: C3         G3         -    -    C3
LH2: C3+G3      G3+D4      -    -    C3+G3
LH3: C3+E3+G3   G3+B3+D4   -    -    C3+E3+G3
RH:  E4         D4         C4   B3   C4

Play-through

Play section 1 twice, then sections 2, 3 and 4. Return to section 1, as in the earlier practice version. For a settled ending, finish with section 4 instead.

Slow is a good place to start. Repeat a little, then take a breath.
