- Title
SONATA PRINCIPLES.
- Authors
Riley, Matthew
- Abstract
The article presents a review on textbooks on sonata form. It notes that the phrase "sonata form" was derived by nineteenth-century pedagogues and now it is broadly held that their work ailing models eighteenth-century practice, and varies from the concerns of eighteenth-century theory. It mentions that Donald Francis Tovey and Leonard Ratner led way to changes and there developed a pervasive scepticism towards all definite rules for late eighteenth-century sonata composition. Moreover, much modern scholarship on the era has been committed to overcome the nineteenth century legacy.
