I really appreciate your online explanation videos! They are clear, but - more important - helpful for me. Thank you so much!

Good video for music appreciation. If you would accept some constructive feedback: this is completely abstract without specific examples. If you included SPECIFIC musical examples this would be much more helpful.

These videos have been a gift, thank you very much for all of this information.

Great video! SO HELPFUL! I'm finding I understand the form itself, I can explain it, and talk about it, but I'm having trouble analyzing and identifying it in musical examples. Are you able to add examples, or can you point me to a video that does this? THANK YOU!!!

so in a sonata do you HAVE to go around keys in the exposition?

[@DavidEFarrell]

Hello! It's hard to say "have to" with almost anything in music theory. But I think your expectation when studying a sonata form should be to find some sort of harmonic conflict - in the form of multiple different tonal centers - in the exposition. This conflict, along with its eventual resolution, is at the center of what sonata forms are all about.

Beispielen bitte.

Would have been nice to hear examples instead of reading texts.
