Recitativo - Fantasia (Ben moderato) IV. Allegretto poco mosso Fryderyk Chopin Born in Żelazowa Wola, nr. Warsaw, Poland, March 1, 1810; died in Paris, France, October 17, 1849 Cello Sonata in G Minor, op. 65 (1845-6) If the piano was the centre of Chopin’s universe, the cello was a significant satellite. Three of his four chamber works are for cello, including the Cello Sonata. It is a late work and it gave him two years of trouble to get it into a shape he wished to publish. Its many sketches reveal that Chopin worked hard at finding a balance between the two instruments and that he had in mind a sonata where the themes constantly evolve and relate back to one central idea. At its core, this idea is the interval of a falling second, heard in the opening theme. It propels the energetic, mazurka-like Scherzo and haunts the melancholy beauty of the slow movement. It also drives the finale, both its twisting, tarantella-like first theme and its expansion into a syncopated dance theme, first given to the cello.

    MTO 21.4: Aziz, the Evolution of Chopin's Sonata Forms

    Volume 21, Number 4, December 2015 Copyright © 2015 Society for Music Theory Andrew I. Aziz NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.15.21.4/mto.15.21.4.aziz.php KEYWORDS: Chopin, sonata form, concerto, Schubert, Type 2, resetting of the formal compass ABSTRACT: This study examines the evolving use of sonata form by Chopin, with specific focus on the ways that formal innovations in his early sonatas (opp. 4 and 8) and piano concertos (opp. 11 and 21) anticipate formal patterns in his late piano sonatas (Nos. 2 and 3) and the Cello Sonata; in particular, I excavate Chopin’s application of the second theme group (S) as a primary form-defining unit. In doing so, I investigate additional sonata forms by Chopin and Schubert, introduce a new formal function called “resetting of the formal compass” (RFC), and reconsider a recent debate between Hepokoski/Darcy and Wingfield, providing evidence for the resurgence of early Classical conventions in the heart of the Romantic era. Received May 2015 Introduction [0.1] This study offers a new perspective for analyzing the sonata forms of Chopin. I show that his sonata-allegro movements are not just “deformations” of the Classical sonata, but instead adhere to principles suggesting a progressive logic. The progression begins with the early sonatas (opp. 4 and 8), which deviate considerably from the Classical template; continues through the compositional fulcrum of the two concertos (opp. 11 and 21); and concludes with the oft-performed and -analyzed late sonatas, opp.

Naxos, the world’s leading classical label, has mined its vast catalog of recordings (and the brains of its global staff of classical music connoisseurs) to design a new series called “Instant Expert” which is available by Chopin download only. Each “Instant Expert” volume focuses on the music of one composer, featuring a Classical Music: Be An curated collection of that composer’s greatest hits as well as some unique or historically significant Instant Expert compositions. In addition, each download is accompanied by a podcast hosted by Raymond Bisha, Naxos of America Director of Media Relations, and a booklet containing track information and an abridged biography of the composer. – Kelly M.
