Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elements of Sonata Theory is a comprehensive, richly detailed rethinking of the basic principles of sonata form in the decades around 1800. This foundational study draws upon the joint strengths of current music history and music theory to outline a new, up-to-date paradigm for understanding the compositional choices found in the instrumental works of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and their contemporaries: sonatas, chamber music, symphonies, overtures, and concertos. In so doing, it also lays out the indispensable groundwork for anyone wishing to confront the later adaptations and deformations of these basic structures in the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries. Combining insightful music analysis, contemporary genre theory, and provocative hermeneutic turns, the book brims over with original ideas, bold and fresh ways of awakening the potential meanings within a familiar musical repertory. Sonata Theory grasps individual compositions-and each of the individual moments within them-as creative dialogues with an implicit conceptual background of flexible, ever-changing historical norms and patterns. These norms may be recreated as constellations "compositional defaults," any of which, however, may be stretched, strained, or overridden altogether for individualized structural or expressive purposes. This book maps out the terrain of that conceptual background, against which what actually happens-or does not happen-in any given piece may be assessed and measured. The Elements guides the reader through the standard (and less-than-standard) formatting possibilities within each compositional space in sonata form, while also emphasizing the fundamental role played by processes of large-scale circularity, or "rotation," in the crucially important ordering of musical modules over an entire movement. The book also illuminates new ways of understanding codas and introductions, of confronting the generating processes of minor-mode sonatas, and of grasping the arcs of multimovement cycles as wholes. Its final chapters provide individual studies of alternative sonata types, including "binary" sonata structures, sonata-rondos, and the "first-movement form" of Mozart's concertos.

Book Short and Concise Analysis of Mozart s Twenty two Pianoforte Sonatas

Download or read book Short and Concise Analysis of Mozart s Twenty two Pianoforte Sonatas written by Janet Salsbury and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A knowledge of the Sonata Form is necessary to an UNDERSTANDING of FORM in ALL music. This book gives a clear explanation of the Sonata Form together with a detailed analysis of the Form, with musical examples of each one of the 22 Sonatas of Mozart. The UNDERSTANDING that this book creates, opens up the whole field of Musical Form. * * * * An excerpt from the first chapter: SONATA FORM. Also called: (1) First-Movement Form, (2) Symphony Form, (3) Sonata-Allegro Form, (all so named because the First Movements of Sonatas, Symphonies, etc., are most frequently constructed on this particular design), and (4) formerly called Binary Form, because the movement is founded on two subjects. Sonata Form consists of three parts: (1) A. Enunciation or Exposition. (2) B. Free Fantasia or Development, and (3) A2. Recapitulation. The Enunciation, or Part I., consists of two Subjects, - a Principal or 1st Subject invariably in the tonic key; and a Second Subject, the key of which up to the time of Beethoven was almost invariably in the Dominant when the movement was in a major key, or in the relative major when the movement was in a minor key. Beethoven, and composers since his time, have taken more liberty in the choice of key. These two subjects, not being in the same key, are generally connected by means of a passage known as the Transition, Connecting Episode or Bridge Passage. The Transition may consist of new matter or be formed from part of the Principal Subject. The Development, or Part II. of a Sonata, consists: (1) of the development of ideas in the Enunciation, thus presenting them in different aspects to those already given, or (2) of an entirely new episode, or (3) of both Thematic Development and Episodical Matter. Professor Prout in his 'Applied Forms,' says "With Mozart's Sonata movements in general more Episode and less Thematic treatment will mostly be found in the Free Fantasia than with either Haydn or Beethoven."

Book Anthology of Musical Forms   Structure   Style  Expanded Edition

Download or read book Anthology of Musical Forms Structure Style Expanded Edition written by Leon Stein and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 1999-11-27 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structure and Style, first published in 1962 and expanded in 1979, fills the need for new ways of analysis that put 20th-century music in perspective. It spans forms in use before 1600 through forms and techniques in use today. Anthology of Musical Forms provides musical examples of forms treated in Structure and Style. Some examples are analyzed throughout. Most are left for the student to analyze. These books reflect Leon Stein's impressive background as student, musician, and composer. Stein studied composition with Leo Sowerby, Frederick Stock (conductor of the Chicago Symphony) and orchestration with Eric DeLamarter, his assistant. He earned M. Mus and Ph.D degrees at DePaul University and was associated with its School of Music as director of the Graduate Division and chairman of the Department of Theory and Composition until his retirement in 1976. He has composed a wide variety of works, including compositions for orchestra, chamber combinations, two operas, and a violin concerto.

Book Understanding Mozart s Piano Sonatas

Download or read book Understanding Mozart s Piano Sonatas written by John Irving and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mozart's piano sonatas are among the most familiar of his works and stand alongside those of Haydn and Beethoven as staples of the pianist's repertoire. In this study, John Irving looks at a wide selection of contextual situations for Mozart's sonatas, focusing on the variety of ways in which they assume identities and achieve meanings. In particular, the book seeks to establish the provisionality of the sonatas' notated texts, suggesting that the texts are not so much identifiers as possibilities and that their identity resides in the usage. Close attention is paid to reception matters, analytical approaches, organology, the role of autograph manuscripts, early editions and editors, and aspects of historical performance practice - all of which go beyond the texts in opening windows onto Mozart's sonatas. Treating the sonatas collectively as a repertoire, rather than as individual works, the book surveys broad thematic issues such as the role of historical writing about music in defining a generic space for Mozart's sonatas, their construction within pedagogical traditions, the significance of sound as opposed to sight in these works (and in particular their sound on fortepianos of the later eighteenth-century) , and the creative role of the performer in their representation beyond the frame of the text. Drawing together and synthesizing this wealth of material, Irving provides an invaluable reference source for those already familiar with this repertoire.
