1. sonata form

   Sonata form is a musical structure that originated in the classical music era in the late 18th century. It is typically used in the first movement of a multi-movement piece. The form consists of three main sections: exposition, development, and recapitulation. In the exposition, the main themes (usually two) are presented. The first theme is typically in the home key, and the second is in a different, yet related key. In the development, the composer explores variations, combinations, and transformations of these themes, usually modulating through different keys. In the recapitulation, the themes return, but both are now presented in the home key. Sometimes, there may be an optional introduction at the beginning and a coda (concluding passage) at the end. This form allows a balanced and logical unfolding of the music with its emphasis on key relationships and thematic development.

1. Sonata form

   Sonata form is a large-scale musical structure used widely since the middle of the 18th century. While it is typically used in the first movement of multi-movement pieces, it is sometimes used in subsequent movements as well—particularly the final movement. The teaching of sonata form in music theory rests on a standard definition and a series of hypotheses about the underlying reasons for the durability and variety of the form—a definition that arose in the second quarter of the 19th century. There is little disagreement that on the largest level, the form consists of three main sections: an exposition, a development, and a recapitulation; however, beneath this, sonata form is difficult to pin down in a single model. The standard definition focuses on the thematic and harmonic organization of tonal materials that are presented in an exposition, elaborated and contrasted in a development and then resolved harmonically and thematically in a recapitulation. In addition, the standard definition recognizes that an introduction and a coda may be present. Each of the sections is often further divided or characterized by the particular means by which it accomplishes its function in the form.
