Document Summary
Sonata- though we know it as a form, sonata in the. Sonatas are much less uniform than symphonies, concertos or quartets. Double-exposition form- in a sonata, the exposition presenting all basic material is repeated. The balance between solo instrument and orchestra presented a real problem for composers in the classical era: for example, in some of the concertos mozart composed, he pitted the soloist against the orchestra evenly, pitting no winner". Double-exposition sonata form; cadenza near the end: second movement. Sonata form, variations, rondo form: closing movement. Double-exposition form- in a concerto, the competing forces presents the musical themes in its own somewhat different version: orchestra exposition- the orchestra"s exposition, which does not modulate, solo exposition- this is the soloist"s exposition, which changes key. The soloist"s ability to do this is evidence of the soloist"s superior range and mobility. This is a genre for four instruments: two violins, a viola, and a cello.
