Ferdinand Beyer - Les progrès des jeunes élèves, Op. 88, No. 5 - Rondo Valse

Measure numbers count the music as written, including alternate endings and closing partial bars; opening pickups are excluded.

The Vivo opening in D major and 3/4 alternates short slurred notes and rests with accented lower chords. Measures 7-20 add running lower eighth notes beneath short chord replies, then return to the opening figure.

Measures 21-36 introduce a dolce melody of sustained notes and slurred replies above a bass note followed by two chords. Measures 37-52 change the key signature and add short, chromatic eighth-note figures and accented upper notes.

Measures 53-69 return to D major with a quieter melody alternating three-note slurs, dotted figures, and held notes. Measures 70-85 move to A major, combining dotted rhythms, short paired notes, and rising and falling eighth-note phrases.

Measures 86-101 return to D major with repeated and sustained melody notes, slurred eighth-note figures, and chromatic descents. Measures 102-118 change to G major, alternating quiet low-register phrases with accented upper replies. Measures 119-135 continue with repeated accented notes, triplets, and longer rising and falling eighth-note figures.

Measures 136-152 bring back D major and a dolce melody of repeated notes, sustained tones, and slurred replies. Measures 153-179 broaden the upper part into paired notes and chords, alternating held harmonies with short eighth-note figures and rising runs.

From measure 180, longer chains of upper eighth notes rise and fall above recurring bass notes and chords. The closing passage extends these figures into higher registers before a series of accented chord replies and final rests.
