Sonata Form serves as the catalyst for honing your composition skills and nurturing your growth as a proficient music creator. This course begins with an explanation of Sonata Form - what it is and how it evolved during the Classical Period. We then analyse Sonata Form movements written by Mozart and Beethoven to discover how Classical Period composers wrote in this structure and in order to see how Sonata Form was to develop during the Romantic Period. The course also explains the possible variants within Sonata Form that composers might choose to explore. There follow two composition projects. In the first, we write the essentials of a Sonata Form movement in the Classical Period style, considering how to compose first and second subjects, how to develop and recapitulate material, when to include an introduction, a Coda and transition material. In the second, we write a more extended Sonata Form movement in a more contemporary style, learning to deal with the challenges of working with Sonata Form in an atonal environment. https://www.mmcourses.co.uk/p/composi... 👥 Social Media Website: http://www.mmcourses.co.uk Facebook:   / musicmattersgb   Twitter:   / musicmattersgb   Instagram:   / musicmattersgb   Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dvgdUD 🔗 Affiliate Links Amazon: https://geni.us/71PKSR #MusicComposition #LearnMusic #TheAllRoundMusician
