Ferdinand Beyer - 6 Morceaux gracieux, Op. 110, No. 5 - Die Fahnenwacht

Measures 1-27 form a Maestoso opening in common time. Dotted upper phrases alternate with accented chords and short ornamental runs. The melody broadens over bass notes and repeated chords, then continuous lower broken-note figures support the later phrases. A trill and held pause close the section.

Measures 28-45 are marked Brillante. Rising and descending upper sixteenth-note figures move above bass notes and chord groups. Paired-note figures enter at measure 36 with a quieter flowing accompaniment, followed by a more sustained melody at measure 40. Rapid upper runs return before another trill and held pause.

Measures 46-63 are marked Marcato il tempo giusto. An upper chord melody moves above continuous rapid lower figures. The lower runs rise and fall through wider registers as the upper phrases become fuller, then a broad rising run passes into the upper part before the close.

Measures 64-84 introduce a passage marked Appassionato with four flats in the key signature. Slurred upper phrases, held notes and ornamental replies move above continuous lower broken notes. Trills and repeated upper tones lead to an extended descending run over a held bass note.

Measures 85-118 return to Brillante figures. Rapid upper runs alternate with paired-note patterns, while bass notes and chord groups support the opening phrases. A quieter paired-note passage gives way to broader rising and descending runs above held lower chords.

Measures 119-128 form the closing passage. Sparse upper notes move above continuous lower sixteenth-note figures, followed by rising upper arpeggios and fuller chord replies. Accented chords lead to the final held chord.
