Original Title:
Αργά μέρη σε μορφές σονάτας στην κλασσική περίοδο. Συμβολή στην εξέλιξη των ειδών και των δομικών τύπων μέσα από τα έργα των Haydn, Mozart και Beethoven (με εκτενή επισκόπηση της θεωρητικής εξέλιξης των μορφών σονάτας από τον 18ο έως τον 20ό αιώνα)
Translated title:
Slow movements in sonata forms in the classic era. A contribution to the evolution of genres and structural types through the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (with an extensive survey of the theoretical evolution of sonata forms from 18th to 20th centuries)
Summary:
On the occasion of the slow movements of the broader instrumental compositions of the classical period, the present paper opens with a systematic examination of various music genres of the time in relation to the number and the disposition of the individual movements, the keys used within a cyclic work, as well as the possibilities of a direct connection between two successive movements in a selected repertoire consisting of 660 works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. The second part of the dissertation follows, in a critical and comparative manner, the evolution of all sonata forms – i.e. the binary, the ternary, the sonata form without development, the sonata-rondo and the sonata-concerto form – through essays and handbooks of composition from the 18th and 19th centuries (by Scheibe, Quantz, Riepel, Vogler, Koch, Galeazzi, Daube, Reicha, Birnbach and Czerny), through analogous handbooks of composition and analysis from the 19th and 20th centuries (by Marx, Lobe, Prout, Riemann, Leichtentritt, Goetschius, Schoenberg, Ratz, Berry, Kohs, Kühn and Caplin, among others), as well as through many related musicological studies from the entire 20th century. Thus, criteria are formulated for the subsequent assiduous analysis of 373 slow movements in sonata forms, on the basis of which the multidimensional evolution of all structural types of sonata form is outlined from the middle of the 18th century up to the first quarter of the 19th century.
