Sonata Cycle
• Fast - most sophisticated movement - more sections - twists and turns.
• Slow - usually a Theme and Variations, or ABA form. Easier to listen to and follow.
• Dance-like - triple meter Minuet and Trio form. Even easier to listen to.
• Fast - often Rondo - easiest of all to listen to.

Sonata Allegro Form
•- The form (formula) that you will find for the first movement of EVERY work from the Classical Period. Consists of three main parts: Exposition, Development, Recapitulation, and smaller Coda ('tail').
![Page 11: “Classical” Forms 1750-1825. Forms Binary (Baroque dances i.e., Bourree) AABB Baroque Concerto (Vivaldi Spring) ABACADA – main theme returns after each](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e8f5503460f94b93525/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Exposition
•First section, where the keys and themes are “exposed” for the listener. Theme 1 in home key, transition modulates, Theme 2 in new key, closing section. The exposition is played twice.
![Page 12: “Classical” Forms 1750-1825. Forms Binary (Baroque dances i.e., Bourree) AABB Baroque Concerto (Vivaldi Spring) ABACADA – main theme returns after each](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e8f5503460f94b93525/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Development
•The second section. Themes 1 and 2 are fragmented and made into motives. Constant modulation with NO occurrence of the home key. Lots of tension, and even polyphonic texture. At the end of nearly every development, you can sense that it?s "running out of steam".
![Page 13: “Classical” Forms 1750-1825. Forms Binary (Baroque dances i.e., Bourree) AABB Baroque Concerto (Vivaldi Spring) ABACADA – main theme returns after each](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e8f5503460f94b93525/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Recapitulation
•The third section. You hear the home key coincide with Theme 1 again. Your ear remembers this sound from the very beginning. Structurally, the recapitulation is like the exposition, except that there is NOMODULATION IN THE RECAPITULATION. Theme 2 is in the home key.

Coda
•"tail"; the very end of a movement. Nothing new, just a nice big cadence to signify that THIS IS THE END.
