# "Solfeggio"

## The sixteenth note

In Strauss’ score this note appears, the sixteenth note.

Do you remember it?

There are 16 sixteenth notes in a whole note, hence its name.

Pay attention to the relation of the notes in this chart:

## The signs of abbreviations

In Zaratrusta’s score there is a sign we haven’t seen before:

It is a sign that is used to indicate that a bar is repeated exactly as many times as in the previous one, the same fragment is repeated. They are the simile marks.

It would be like this:

There are others:

- Tremolo:

- Multi-measure rest:

## Form

We are going to work a little bit with the form of these scores.

Are you able to distinguish the different parts in Debussy´s score?

It has 3 phrases, so it is ternary. But if you really pay attention, you can see that it is already different from the music from the previous periods, isn't it?

In Strauss´score, we have 4 phrases of which the three first are similar, changing only the end. The last sentence is the most different of all. Can you see it in the flute?
