Abstract
The first object of this research project is to compute the average rate of chord change for each movement of the three works under investigation: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, by Johann Sebastian Bach; Symphony No. 39, in E-flat Major (K. 543), by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; and Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, O. 55, by Ludwig van Beethoven.
The second object is to determine whether there is any specific tendency toward a change of rate of chord-change during the cadences within the movements.
The third object is to assemble the results in such a way that appropriate comparisons can be made--both within the word, among the various movements, and among the three works analyzed.
