Ferdinand Beyer - Bouquets de mélodies, Op. 42, No. 19 - La Fille du Régiment

Measures 1-29, marked Moderato mosso in 3/4 at the start, connect dotted octave figures with an ascending cadenza in measure 4 and emphatic chord accents. A quieter melody adds triplets above recurring lower bass notes and chords, then broadens into octaves, paired-note runs, and higher accents. Measure 30 extends an upper cadenza above a held lower harmony.

Measures 31-72 alternate quieter paired-note phrases with chord accents, trills, and rising upper runs. Slurred octave figures become repeated notes and higher paired-note replies, then broaden into emphatic chords above moving lower figures.

Measures 73-109, marked Marziale in 2/4 at the start, alternate high chord accents with quieter dotted phrases above detached lower bass notes and chords. The upper line adds octave replies and rising chromatic figures, then pauses after short ornaments.

Measures 110-151, marked Allegro vivace in 3/8 at the start, present a paired-note melody above detached lower bass notes and chords. Flowing lower figures accompany broader octave phrases, followed by descending upper runs and a quieter reply.

Measures 152-198, marked Allegretto in 2/4 at the start, introduce a detached melody with dotted rhythms, triplets, and grace notes. The upper line expands into octaves and paired-note phrases above recurring lower bass notes and chords. Measure 199 extends a cadenza through repeated notes, descending and ascending runs, and a trill. Measures 200-206, marked Risoluto at the start, connect rising octave figures with strong chords and a quiet held ending.

Measures 207-235, marked Larghetto in 6/8 at the start, introduce a slurred melody above flowing lower broken chords. The upper line broadens into paired notes and octave accents, then returns to quieter replies and a pause. Measures 236-244, marked Allegro in common time at the start, connect repeated chord figures with emphatic accents and descending octave runs.

Measures 245-284, marked Allegro moderato in 3/4 at the start, alternate paired-note and octave accents with quieter single-note replies above recurring lower bass notes and chords. Short ornaments, falling runs, and trills lead back to a broader chordal melody. Measures 285-313, headed Var. at the start, develop slurred paired-note runs and high octave phrases, interrupted by repeated chord accents and moving lower figures.

Measures 314-370, marked Vivace in 2/4 at the start, introduce rising and falling upper figures above low bass notes, then a slurred melody above detached lower chords. The melody expands into octaves, paired notes, and short triplets, alternating strong accents with quieter replies.

Measures 371-406 continue the paired-note melody, add chromatic replies, and rise through octave figures. Repeated upper chords lead into flowing runs above recurring lower chords, then descend into a quieter phrase. Measures 407-416 connect a descending run with rising octave and chord accents, alternate high chords with low bass notes, and close on a held C-major harmony.
