The Rondo-forms
The structural basis of the Rondo, and other larger or (as they are sometimes called) higher forms, is the Subject or Theme. The form and contents of this factor, the Theme, are so variable that a precise definition can scarcely be given. It is a ...
The Second Part
Part Two, as intimated, is likely to begin with a more or less palpable change of melodic character,--by no means is this always the case. It may be designed, also, as period, double-period, or phrase-group, and is somewhat likely to be a little long...
The Small And Large Phrases
If a cadence is inserted before it is properly due, it is almost certain to occur exactly half-way along the line toward the expected (regular) cadence,--that is, in the second measure. This is likely to be the case only when the tempo is so slow, ...
The Sonata-allegro Form
As distinguished from the sonatine-form, with its two Divisions, this larger species, based upon precisely the same structural idea, has three Divisions,--the Exposition, a middle Division called the Development (growing out of the brief interlude o...
The Sonatine Form
In the Sonatine-form, or the smaller variety of the sonata-allegro designs, this Exposition (or first Division) is followed at once,--or after a few measures of interlude, or re-transitional material,--by a Recapitulation of the Division, as was see...
The Song-form Or The Part-form
Almost every musical composition of average (brief) dimensions, if designed with the serious purpose of imparting a clear formal impression, will admit of division into either two or three fairly distinct sections, or Parts, of approximately equal ...
The Third Rondo Form
In this form of composition there are three digressions from the Principal theme. But, in order to avert the excess of variety, so imminent in a design of such length, the digressions are so planned that the third one corresponds to the first. Tha...
The Trio Or Subordinate Song
The division which follows, as second song-form, was formerly called the Trio, and it has retained the name in the majority of examples of this form, although the old custom that gave rise to the term has long since been discontinued. A more accur...
Time
Time is the same thing in music that it is everywhere else in nature. It is what passes while a piece of music is being played, sung, or read. It is like the area of the surface upon which the musical structure is to be erected, and which is measu...
Unity And Variety
As much as opinions and beliefs may differ, among music critics, as to the necessity of Form in music, and the conditions of its existence, no reasonable objection can be taken to the hypothesis that Clearness and Attractiveness are the two vital r...
T The Second Rondo Form
As described in the preceding chapter, the Second Rondo-form contains two digressions from the Principal theme, called respectively the first and second Subordinate themes. It bears the same relation to the Five-Part Song-form, that the First Rondo...
