Ferdinand Beyer - Soirées musicales, Op. 109, No. 5 - Le Siège de Corinthe

Measures 1-12, marked Allegro in common time, alternate broad rising arpeggios with accented chords. Quieter arpeggios follow, then descending upper figures and pauses with fermatas lead to the slow section.

Measures 13-51, marked Larghetto in 9/8, introduce a slurred upper melody above flowing lower arpeggios. Held and paired melody notes alternate with ornamental runs, chromatic replies, and stronger chord phrases. The lower texture briefly changes to repeated chords before the melody returns above arpeggios.

Measures 52-55 expand into rising and falling upper runs above held lower chords. Accented chords interrupt the motion, then a broad descending passage and quieter rising reply lead to the next section.

Measures 56-81 return to Allegro in common time. A sustained upper melody with short ornamental replies sounds above recurring lower bass notes and chords. Running figures and rising octave phrases broaden the upper line, then a quieter melody appears above flowing lower paired notes.

Measures 82-102 continue the octave melody and lower paired-note motion before changing to repeated upper notes, accented chords, and wider upper runs. Rising figures in both hands lead to stronger descending octave replies and a brief chordal pause.

Measures 103-130 return the earlier Allegro melody above lower bass notes and chords. Short running phrases alternate with held melody tones, then broader upper octave figures return above flowing paired notes in the lower hand.

Measures 131-155 combine repeated upper notes, accented chords, and rising and falling runs. Fuller chords and octave phrases lead into descending figures, a final rising arpeggio, and two separated accented chords before the held final chord.
