Author: Fankhauser, Gabe Title: Cadential Intervention and Tonal Expansion in Select Works of Shostakovich Institution: Florida State University Begun: August 1998 Completed: December 1999 Abstract: This study shows how certain musical material inserted between the dominant and the tonic of a cadence intervenes and expands the cadential process. Modified Schenkerian analysis and rhythmic analysis demonstrate the extent to which cadential intervention disrupts hypermeter, voice leading, and harmony. Brief analyses of works by Bach, Mozart, and Haydn show that the concept has traditional basis, while detailed analyses of two works by Shostakovich reveal an idiomatic approach. Analysis of Shostakovich’s Prelude in Cs minor, op. 34, no. 10, and Second Piano Trio, op. 67, demonstrates that cadential intervention serves a vital role as a means of tonal expansion and motivic unity in each piece.
