The Technique of Orchestration , p.148 149. ISBN 0 13 040771 2. ref Pedal tones are special notes in the harmonic series music harmonic series of cylindrical bore brass instrument s. A pedal tone has the pitch of its harmonic series fundamental tone. Its name comes from the pedals of a pipe organ. Cylindrical brasses do not naturally vibrate at this frequency. A closed cylinder vibrates at only the odd members of its harmonic series. This set of pitches is too sparse to be musically useful for brass instruments therefore, the bells and mouthpieces of brasses are crafted to adjust these pitches. The bell significantly raises all pitches in the series, and the mouthpiece limits the amount to which higher harmonics are raised. The resulting set of pitches is a new harmonic series altogether. This new series has all but one of its members present, instead of only the odd members. The member not present in the new series is the fundamental. The original fundamental is not raised all the way to the new fundamental pitch, and the original third harmonic becomes the new second harmonic. The new fundamental can be played, however, as a pedal tone. The higher resonances of the new series help the lips vibrate at the fundamental frequency and allow the pitch to sound. The resulting tone relies heavily on overtone s for its perception, but in the hands of a skilled player, pedal tones can be controlled and can sound characteristic to the instrument.

  1. Variations on a Nursery Tune (Dohnányi)

    essay date December 2010 Unreferenced date December 2009 The Variations on a Nursery Tune , Op. 25, is a piece for piano and orchestra by Ern Dohn nyi . It is subtitled For the enjoyment of humorous people and for the annoyance of others . Written in 1914, it captures the spirit of Romantic music Romanticism , and manages to delight and enthral in its sparkling piano writing and lush orchestral textures, and its wit in the treatment of the theme the French nursery song Ah, vous dirai je, Maman , otherwise known as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star . Like Dohn nyi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mozart also wrote variations on this nursery tune K. 265 300e . The Variations on a Nursery Tune consists of an Introduction and Theme, 13 Variations and a Coda. The Introduction is Richard Wagner Wagnerian in its writing, with faux pathos, brasses blaring and strings thick and dense. The outline of the theme appears indistinctly but unmistakably in the horns, a hint of what is to come. After a long drawn out conclusion which grows ever quieter while continually building the tension, we have a belch from the orchestra and a pregnant pause, followed by a quiet restatement of the theme on the piano accompanied by pizzicato strings. What follows is a witty, artful set of variations ranging from the innocent first variation to the romantic third variation, the scurrying sixth variation, the boisterous, overcooked waltz in the seventh variation and the pathos laden seventh variation which alludes to the Wagnerian opening. Dohn nyi treats the piano and orchestra as equals every instrument is given its chance to shine. Dohn nyi alludes to many different works, or composers, in the piece. For instance, variation 8 suggests the march from the second movement of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Tchaikovsky s Symphony No. 2 Tchaikovsky Little Russian Symphony . Claude Debussy Debussy is alluded to, with the ethereal harmonies of the 11th variation. Dohn nyi pokes fun at nearly every composer his audience o ...   more details
