No. 9, " 3 1/2-7. No. 27, " 5-12. Schumann, op. 68, No. 3, measures 1-8; 9-16. No. 5, measures 1-8; 9-16. (Do not overlook the preliminary tones which precede the first measure.) The first eight measures of Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 22, 23, 24, 26, 30, 32, 39. Also Nos. 13 and 28, first _ten_ measures. Beethoven, pianoforte sonatas: op. 2, No. 1, _Adagio_, measures 1-8. Same sonata, third movement, "Trio," measures 1-10. Op. 2, No. 2, _Largo_, measures 1-8; also _Scherzo_, measures 1-8; also _Rondo_, measures 1-8. Op. 2, No. 3, measures 1-13; also _Scherzo_, measures 1-16; also last movement, measures 1-8. Op. 10, No. 1, _Finale_, measures 1-8; and measures 16 1/2-28. Op. 10, No. 3, measures 1-10; also _Largo_, measures 1-9; 9 1/2-17; also _Menuetto_, measures 1-16; also _Rondo_, measures 1-9. Op. 14, No. 2, measures 1-8; also _Andante_, measures 1-8; also _Scherzo_, measures 1-8. After analyzing these examples, the student may venture to define the periods in other compositions, classic or popular, especially such as he may chance to be learning. CHAPTER VIII.--ENLARGEMENT OF THE PERIOD-FORM. The processes of extension and development are applied to the period in the same general manner as to the phrase. The results, however, are broader; partly because every operation is performed on a correspondingly larger scale, and partly because the resources of technical manipulation increase, naturally, with the growth of the thematic material. Among the various methods adopted, there are three, each significant in its own peculiar way, that provide sufficiently exhaustive directions for the student of structural analysis. ENLARGEMENT BY REPETITION.--The first and simplest method is to increase the length of the period-form by the process of _repetition_; repetition of the entire sentence, or of any one--or several--of its component members, in a manner very similar to that already seen in connection with the single phrase (Chap. VI, Ex. 39, etc.), and under the same conditions of Unity and Variety; that is, the repetitions may be nearly or quite literal, or they may have been subjected to such alterations and variations as the skill and fancy of the composer suggested. An example of complete repetition (that is, the repetition of the entire period), with simple but effective changes, may be found in Beethoven, pianoforte sonata, op. 13, _Adagio_, measures 1 to 16.
