Myth-busting Sonata Form: Evolution, Not Revolution with Steve Goss
Mon Jul 18 2022 at 11 AM PDT
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.
