Abstract Details

2012, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Clarinet.
Sonata Theory recognizes five types of sonatas based on their rotational designs. The first movement of most eighteenth-century concertos is classified as a Type 5 sonata (concerto movement) and is the most complicated sonata design due to the great variation that exists among individual Type 5 movements. This document contains a brief introduction to Hepokoski and Darcy’s Sonata Theory and a summary of the Type 5 sonata. Chapters two, three, and four are extensive studies and analyses of the clarinet concertos composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Louis Spohr, and Carl Maria von Weber. Comprehensive comparisons of these concertos are provided at the end of chapters three and four. Diagrams 2, 3, and 4 are the result of examining these concerto movements. They indicate the sections, zones, and modules of a sonata form in the movements. Appendix A is a list of terms and abbreviations that are used in the analyses. In addition, Hepokoski and Darcy’s Type 5 sonata default settings and options are included in Appendix B.
