Ferdinand Beyer - Les progrès des jeunes élèves, Op. 88, No. 7 - La Favorita

Measure numbers restart in the Cantabile, Un poco più mosso, Largo, and Allegro marziale. Unbarred ornamental passages are excluded.

The Cantabile begins in 6/8. Its measures 1-3 combine high octave notes, short paired-note figures, and rising runs with lower chord replies. Measures 4-13 introduce a quieter melody in paired notes above flowing broken chords. Measures 14-22 return to accented high octaves, chromatic rising and falling figures, and a final broad arpeggio.

The Un poco più mosso changes to common time. Its measures 1-8 alternate accented high notes and rising upper runs above lower bass notes and held chords. Measures 9-10 descend through paired-note figures and close with chord accents, followed by sustained harmonies and an ornamental passage ending on a fermata.

The Largo changes to 12/8. Its measures 1-12 place a broad melody in octaves and paired notes above recurring groups of lower chords and bass tones. Measures 13-18 briefly lighten the accompaniment to broken single notes, then restore the fuller chord pattern. Measures 19-27 return to the opening melody, while measures 28-30 introduce more chromatic movement before an unbarred rising and falling cadenza.

The Allegro marziale returns to common time. Its measures 1-15 combine a strong melody in octaves and paired notes with dotted rhythms, repeated lower chords, and bass accents. Measures 16-24 change to a melody in single notes with short slurred replies and longer rising and falling figures. Measures 25-38 expand into rapid upper runs, including grouped five-note figures, above recurring bass-and-chord patterns. Measures 39-44 add an upward arpeggio and repeated full chords, ending with a held F-major harmony.
