Part A
Motivation: You need to find a Schubert piece that you can analyze for a theory
assignment.
1. Within Variations2, find a work by Schubert which has an online score available. Write
the title in the space below.
2. Open the score in the score viewer and adjust the score appearance according to
your preferences.
3. Bookmark three (3) score pages of interest.
4. Print out two (2) of your bookmarked score pages.
Part B
Motivation: Next week’s theory quiz requires that you analyze and diagram a
Beatles song and turn it in before the end of class. You decide to use the
Variations2 Timeline tool to practice for the quiz.
1. Create a new timeline for the Beatles song entitled “Norwegian Wood”.
2. Diagram the structure of the piece by creating bubbles.
3. If appropriate, group a set of bubbles to show larger formal structure.
4. Use labels and/or colors to show relationships between the sections.
5. Add annotations to some bubbles to describe some musical feature of that section.
6. Print out the timeline you just created.
Part C
Motivation: One of the pieces you have been working with is the Beatles song
entitled “I Will”. You open the timeline file, a work in progress, to continue
diagramming the structure.
1. Adjust the timeline for “I Will” so that it more correctly reflects the structure of the
song. You may want to change colors, labels, timepoints, etc.
2. Save the timeline after you are done making adjustments.
3. Print out the timeline you just saved.
