- Abstract
This study aims to examine cyclical forms as a distinctive musical form. In this study, the term 'cycle' is used to denote a series of unique sections combined in genre, theme, or program of a musical composition. As a form and structure, cyclicality is specific to various types of musical compositions in the world music literature, including Suite, Sonata, Symphony, Chamber works (Trio, Quartet, etc.), vocal-symphonic pieces, as well as musical-stage genres like opera and ballet. The scope of the study is limited to Suite and Sonata forms, and featuring examples of cyclical forms found in the works of composers from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. The study employs a literature review method. In this context, an attempt has been made to provide a general assessment by utilizing national and international articles and books related to the subject. Additionally, compositions were analyzed in terms of their cyclical structure, tempo characteristics, and the tonal scheme of their sections. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that sections of music compositions constructed according to the cyclicality principle are unique in terms of form, interconnected under a common theme or genre umbrella and linked through dramatic development or program headings. The structure of compositions which employs cyclical forms are shaped based on the tempo contrast between sections. Additionally, in such compositions, the tonal relationship between sections (tonal unity or variations of tonal unity) plays a significant role. It is believed that this study will contribute to educational materials for undergradute musical form courses and provide scholarly research perspective of cyclical forms. Given their historical formation, classification and evolution, cyclical form genres are likely to illumiate new scientific studies, hence, it is considered that their study deserve a close attention.
