Talk:Major/minor

[edit] Beethoven Opus 109
This is not really an example, as the major and minor sections are generally regarded as two movements, not one. Kostaki mou 23:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
That's true; good thinking. I've listed it as "contraversial". Well done on all the examples! --Greenwoodtree 00:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your appreciative message. This has been a minor (no pun intended) obsession of mine for many years, along with the far-more-common reverse situation, so I had a ready-made collection. There are a few more I know of that I've got to research. Lalo was good for that kind of thing. I believe Kabalevsky's second cello concerto qualifies, but I'll have to check. There are also a Soler keyboard sonata, a piece from Vivaldi's Il Pastor Fido (not to be confused with Handel's) and a work by Spohr (I think it's an Octet in G, but I'm not sure. With Spohr, of course, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.)
All the best!

Update: Found Kabalevsky's second cello concerto in Lincoln Center library last week. Nope! It's in C minor and ends in C major.
[edit] Strauss's Don Juan
Is this a multi-movement work? I think it's a single-movement symphonic poem.

Yep, I've included those and restructured the page. Feel free to change my wording/structure --Greenwoodtree 10:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
