Mendelssohn Songs Without Words Op.62 no.3
Further examples of musical works where the first sounds very clearly:
The opening of Felix Mendelssohn’s ‘Wedding March’. Right at the very start of the piece, the composer repeats a single note several times — this is the pure first (unison). The sound is crisp and ‘clear’, immediately setting a solemn tone.
A theme from the *Pirates of the Caribbean* soundtrack. The beginning of the piece consists entirely of the firsts: the same motif or note is repeated, creating a recognisable, powerful and slightly ominous pattern.
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Here, the melodic first (the repetition of a single note) works in conjunction with unison: the theme is played in unison against a backdrop of harmonic octaves. This technique lends the theme a stark, ponderous character.
