Product Information

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.
