[@midnightfandoms8960]

ive been trying to learn sonata form for ages now, my school has been trying for about 3 years to drill this into me but its never made sense, but that cookie analogy made everything so clear now XD thank you!

[@Libertyparkmusic_LPM]

That's great to hear! So glad it helped!

[@wilmerillescas25]

Sonata forms has 3 sections : The exposition , the development and Recapitulatión . The exposition starts peacefully and then while the song goes on the tension starts to take place till we came back to the recapitulation where we return home after the journey ( Tension).

Sonata Form is so much better than whatever rambling and on and on form the baroque period used. I like much of the Romantic period forms and modern instrumental (video game, tv, movie) music styles as it uses loosely the Sonata Form, but deviates in order to conform to a story to tell a story without feeling to rigid.

[@caterscarrots3407]

Sometimes though, the original key isn’t stated until the transition, so wrong key first theme is recapitulation. I’ve seen this primarily in Mozart. 2 examples that come to mind are K 545 which states the first theme in F and Symphony no. 1 in Eb K 16 that states the first theme in C minor.

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

What are the uncircled 12 bars between the 1st and 2nd melody? How long are sonata sections, typically? Just as an average example # of measures, knowing it can vary greatly. How long are sonatas, in measures, typically?

[@yoelgreenberg8813]

Nice explanation. There is a mistake on the slides - at 2:48 "second theme" should be "second key" and again, on the right, at 2:55 (actually, second theme is a very rare choice at this point). It would also be helpful if you were to add an analysis of a piece or two with audio. Thanks!

EPIC VIDEO !

[@italianbirdvideos6190]

Interesting however, for dummies like myself, I now need a video to explain this one.....

[@keithparker1346]

I think a video showing the creation of a sonata would be very useful

[@tarikeld11]

What's the background music? :)

[@giorgibaliashvili6855]

I have one question...should the second and third movements of the sonata be written using the same formula as the first movement? Second(adagio) and third(presto) movements also ,,exposition+development+recapitulation"?

[@jorelt8141]

In most cases the 2nd mvt is a preparation to the 3rd mvt/ last mvt (Like moonlight sonata). Also the last movement can be written in sonata rondo form (AB, AC, AD...). I'm pretty sure a sonata piece only needs 1 mvt to be in sonata form(if this is the case. It should be the most important mvt).

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Giorgi Baliashvili If the first movement is in sonata form, the second will be different; it could be in ABA form, variation form, binary form (AB), et cetera. A third movement could be a dance type movement, either a Minuet (three beats in a bar), or a Scherzo (three beats but played one-in-a-bar). A fourth movement could be a rondo (ABACA), another sonata movement, variations (if not already used), or something different. The outline above is flexible, you could have two, three or four movements using some or all of the types mentioned above, and in any order (though a sonata form movement would normally come first).

[@giorgibaliashvili6855]

@@elaineblackhurst1509 Thank you

[@caterscarrots3407]

The second movement can be in sonata form, although that’s not the most common. An example of a sonata form second movement is in Beethoven’s Piano Sonata no. 1 in F minor where 3 out of 4 movements are in sonata form. Second movement is in a truncated sonata form or what I like to refer to as Sonatina Form, the development section is replaced by a brief bridge to the recapitulation. And the fourth movement of that same sonata uses an atypical key for the second theme. First theme is in F minor, second theme is in C minor. Typically, when the final movement is in sonata form, it’s not as rigorous and typical as the first movement sonata form. Moonlight Sonata though is the exception, in that sonata, the first movement is in that Sonatina Form and the third movement is in your textbook sonata form, with a developmental coda as is typical for Beethoven. More common forms for the second movement include: Ternary Form(the large type without repeat signs, not the small type with repeat signs that you find in dances) Rondo, usually a 5 part rondo Theme and Variations Other forms that are less common than either those 3 or Sonatina Form, but can still show up in second movements include: Dance, such as a Minuet and Trio Binary Form Fugue So really, the second movement is the most free in terms of the form, anything goes.

[@pigsbishop99]

What sets this video apart from other explanations, for example on Wikipedia is the mention of themes. Listening to others one would not realise that the 2+ themes are wound into the exposition development and recap. I was condufused until today. . Haydn's sonatas are without peers by the way. One day everyone will get his greatness.

Actually, I believe Bach, Beethoven, etc just wrote music which expressed how they felt. I hardly believe it was any more complicated than that.

Sonata is in this form. I am studying it now and there is a form for sonata. There are other pieces made by them that aren’t sonatas but these are :)

@@damienmcgr Thank You very much for your reply. So they actually knew a specific form or structure centuries ago before music theory or technology even existed? I figured they wrote beautiful music which just sounded good to them.
