Myth-busting Sonata Form: Evolution, Not Revolution with Steve Goss
What is a Sonata? Where did it come from? Where did it go?
Adolf Marx was the first to use the term 'sonata form' as late as 1845 and even then in a largely unhelpful way. Was sonata form invented, or did it evolve? I shall trace the gradual development of binary, rounded binary, and ternary forms into what became known as sonata form through some well-known examples from the guitar repertoire.

I joined in late but what I saw was very interesting(as is us Steve's live streams) - I'll watch the beginning later. Thanks Steve and Martin. I watched on my PC but there was no chat! Was that a problem with the broadcast or was it my PC? I normally watch on my tablet.
