00400 Figure 70b shows the implications of the various altered chords.
00500 The diminished chord at bar 13 is shown as ↓_d_↓: Vs of V (A%4F%1=G%4S%1) simply
00600 because of its being in a position analogous to that of the first
00700 diminished chord, bar 4. Bar 13 has, of course, at the same time the
00800 role of Vs of ↓_C_↓. This is demonstrated by the indications below the
00900 second analysis. Thereby the symmetry of the first and second
01000 phrases is clearly shown. At (*) three functions are given for the
01100 d minor harmony. They represent, 1) its relation to the previous
01200 function, 2) its present function, as defined by a new statement of
01300 the main motive, and 3) its relation to the following function. Such
01400 triple indications should be used sparingly, since they could easily
01500 obscure the most important elements of a progression.
01600
01700 Perhaps Schubert wished to prove that these altered chords
01800 could have harmonic functions, since his %2varied%1 restatement of the
01900 opening gives the following progression.

04100 Now, the first diminished chord is certainly working as a
04200 tonicizing agent to ↓_G_↓. The three chords found in measures 40 to 44
04300 give the effect of a deceptive progression in ↓_a_↓, the final chord
04400 of the group being also subdominant in terms of what follows. Note
04500 that no pivotal tonic is used when the control tonic returns to ↓_I_↓.
04600 It is felt that the time spent under the control tonic of ↓_ii_↓ (↓_d_↓) is
04700 of such relatively brief duration that C could scarcely be heard as
04800 a tonicized VII. However, some other piece with a different
04900 %2presentation%1 of a similar progression might be analyzed rather
05000 differently.

05300 In the %2March to the Scaffold%1 from Berlioz' %2Fantastic Symphony%1
05400 occurs a passage that has puzzled many musicians. Its dramatic effect
05500 is highly dynamic and specific, but its musical justification has been
05600 difficult. The problem arises from the alternation of the tonic ↓_g_↓
05700 minor harmony and the D%4F%1 chord. It might seem that the closest link
05800 between these tritone-related minor and major chords would be found at
05900 the fourth above the tonic, or ↓_c_↓ minor. Thus the relationship could
06000 be shown:

07200 However, the composer does not seem to take this view of the
07300 relationship (nor does he treat D%4F%1 in this manner when it appears a
07400 few moments earlier). The alternation of chords continues until D%4F%1
07500 is almost heard as a new and functionally unrelated tonic. But, as the
07600 drive of the passage subsides, it progresses to E%4F%17 and thence to a
07700 tutti chord, at which time the previous happenings may be reassessed.
07800 The analysis following the example represents the %2result%1 of this
07900 reassessment. There is inadequate basis for choice until the end
08000 of the passage.
