Please don't wait until the day before class to start this homework.
It will take you a while, and I will have high expectations for you on
Tuesday.
Video with basics of Sonata form.
Watch
this video and annotate the score,
as you try to get a handle on sonata form, as expressed in this
movement. It's a pretty typical sonata form movement.
If
you feel ambitious/studious/conscientious/concerned to do well in your
final semester of theory (you should!), you can also find Professor
Roig-Francoli's explanation of sonata form on 651-653 of our textbook.
On pages, 564-656, he gives a sample analysis of Mozart's piano sonata,
K. 309. You can find the score and recording in SAKAI, under RESOURCES. I
also added the audio and score for the first Beethoven example (op. 2,
no. 1), but not the second ("Waldstein"), because it's more complicated
than we need to get into.
Of course, you may search for
additional resources on your own. If you do, be warned: some theorists
use different terminology for the same ideas.
Note that
there might be a mini-quiz on this video next Tuesday. If so, you WILL
BE ALLOWED to use your annotated scores for the mini-quiz.
