Translated title:
Mixed forms of sonata and rondo in the final movements of selected piano trios by Mendelssohn (opera 49 and 66) and Spohr (opus 133)
Summary:
Triggered by the study of sonata and rondo mixtures used in the final movements of major piano trios that were composed around the fifth decade of 19th century, the present study starts with a chronological presentation and a brief overview of the basic characteristics of all the piano trios composed by Mendelssohn, Spohr and Schumann. Subsequently, the study focuses on the analysis of three final movements from selected works of Mendelssohn (Piano Trio no. 1, in d minor, opus 49, and Piano Trio no. 2, in c minor, opus 66) and Spohr (Piano Trio no. 4, in B-flat major, opus 133), concluding with a review of common characteristics between them. Its ultimate goal is the extraction of general conclusions, concerning both the treatment of mixed sonata and rondo forms within this three works and the level at which the aforementioned composers show preference in these sonata and rondo mixtures.
