Tutorial No.4   Joining a chain of fragments from Beethoven Sonata in G Op 49, end-to-end.

For this tutorial, the first 16 bars have been extracted as separate fragments from this Beethoven sonata, and stored as a fragment list. Your task is to reconstruct the sonata.  Of course, you could try placing the fragments into a different order than the original, but it might not sound quite as good!

  1. Open the Musical Discovery Composing Board from the main MENU :-
    Create ->  Compositions -> Composing Board.
  2. Click the arrow on the fragment lists drop-down box, and select Beethoven Sonata in G Op 49 No2 from the list.
  3. Alphabetic icons from A to P will appear at the foot of the screen, representing each of the first 16 bars of this sonata, then icon Q represents the rest from bar 17 to the end.
  4. Right click on some of these icons to bring up an information panel, and click the Play button to listen to them.
  5. Use the left mouse button to drag and drop the icons in order, from A to Q, into the top row of the grid.
  6. Click the orange Assemble button.
  7. Click the Play button in the Play-Bar at the foot of the screen, to hear the composition. It should be recognizable as Beethoven, if you used the right order.
