Document Summary
Hegemony of social groups two sorts of answers: essentialist view: locates the causes of dominance in the nature of the group, social constructivist: located in the social structures and relations that govern the contexts. Women had to be subordinate to men regardless of their talents and abilities. Lady composer - separates women"s efforts from male composers. Composers of our time are no longer ignored, and women could be emerging from musical subjugation. Return to beginning actually is a regression back to its own beginning an undifferentiated place than where it came from. Desire for cadential arrival built up over development arrives. The mix of desire and violence forms a kind of pleasure by fulfilling the demands of the formal structure. Beethoven follows conventional sonata form, but also raises them to a higher level of violence. Successors heard his composition, and could not get enough of it. Climax-principle has been given the status of value-free universal form.
