L’Andante della Sinfonia K 22 di Mozart: un percorso didattico di analisi auditiva, trascrizione e formazione teorico-musicale

Abstract

This didactic module - based on the Andante from W. A. Mozart’s K 22 Symphony - consists of an integrated set of activities including analytical listening, transcription, score reading and music theory training. It is addressed to students of Theory, Analysis and Composition in music high schools, as well as to those of similar disciplines taught in music conservatories and in musicological university courses. Apart from some sections on analytical study, the proposed activities can be carried out, if appropriately simplified, even in non-specialized educational settings, both in secondary schools and universities. The module is based on a specific model of didactic listening, whose main purpose is to help students understand the piece under examination, directing their attention to different aspects of musical construction, which are gradually highlighted, in order to grasp their morphological, functional and expressive features in the dynamics of temporal development. The analysis aims above all to investigate aspects related to process, energy and function in the unfolding of musical structures in time, their tension towards intermediate and final goals, and their ever-changing, often unpredictable organization. In terms of methodology, the aim of creating a ‘laboratory’ learning context is pursued by adopting appropriate teaching strategies that develop investigative thinking and an attitude to research.
