Sonata form is the most commonly encountered organizational plan in
the works of the classical-music masters, from Haydn, Mozart, and
Beethoven to Schubert, Brahms, and beyond. Sonata Theory, an
analytic approach developed by James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy in
their award-winning Elements of Sonata Theory (2006), has emerged
as one of the most influential frameworks for understanding this
musical structure. What can this method from "the new Formenlehre"
teach us about how these composers put together their most iconic
pieces and to what expressive ends? In this new Sonata Theory
Handbook, Hepokoski introduces readers step-by-step to the main
ideas of this approach. At the heart of the book are close readings
of eight individual movements - from Mozart's Piano Sonata in
B-flat, K. 333, to such structurally complex pieces as Schubert's
"Death and the Maiden" String Quartet and the finale of Brahms's
Symphony No 1 - that show this analytical method in action. These
illustrative analyses are supplemented with four updated
discussions of the foundational concepts behind the theory,
including dialogic form, expositional action zones, trajectories
toward generically normative cadences, rotation theory, and the
five sonata types. With its detailed examples and deep engagements
with recent developments in form theory, schema theory, and
cognitive research, this handbook updates and advances Sonata
Theory and confirms its status as a key lens for analyzing sonata
form.
