Description
Sonata Forms by Charles Rosen explores the evolution and function of sonata form in music. This study rejects traditional definitions of the form, instead examining its development in response to changing social conditions from the 18th century onwards. Rosen delves into the history of sonata form, tracing its changes over time through a range of musical examples, including works by Scarlatti and Bartok. The book's revised edition includes new material, including an expanded discussion on codas. With numerous music examples to illustrate his points, Rosen provides a detailed analysis of sonata form, shedding light on its significance in the development of classical music.
