Professor of Viola RATTANAI BAMPENYOU (D.M.A., Instrumental Performance) A Performance Guide to The Multi-Movement (December 2012) Guitar Sonatas of Fernando Sor and Mauro Giuliani Abstract of a doctoral essay at the University of Miami. Doctoral essay supervised by Dr. Rene Gonzalez. No. of pages in text. (201) The purpose of this study is to thoroughly analyze and to create a performance guide of the multi-movement guitar sonatas by Fernando Sor and Mauro Giulian. The works include Sonatas, Opp. 22 and 25 by Sor, and Sonata, Op. 15 by Giuliani. Although the composers are well known to the guitar community, the number of detailed studies of these works is still limited. The present essay is a result of the desire to study them. It contains a short history of the origin of the six-string guitar, the biographies of Sor and Giuliani, and also a brief review of selected writings on sonata form that will help the reader understand the musical form better. The main portion of this study consists of detailed analyses and a performance guide to the sonatas. Theoretical, technical, and stylistic issues are addressed in depth. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express great thank to the Thai government and the citizens of Thailand for the enormous financial support during the course of my study. My deep gratitude also goes to my parents, Lt. Gen. Ronnachai and Saowanee Bampenyou, for their support, inspiration and encouragement. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES. ............................................................................. vi LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... xii Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION... ........................................................................................ 1 The Guitar in the Early Nineteenth Century and Sonata Form ……………… 1 Fernando Sor…………………………………………………………………. 5 Mauro Giuliani…………………………..……………………………………. 6 Justification of the Study …..…………………..…….………………………. 8 Purpose of the Study.....………………………..…….………………………. 9 Organization of the Study.....…………………..…….………………………. 9 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE .......................................................................... 10 Sonata Form ..................................................................................................... 10 The Multi-movement Guitar Sonatas of Sor and Giuliani ............................... 29 3 METHOD ........................................................................................................ 35 Data Gathering Procedure ................................................................................ 35 Analyses ........................................................................................................... 36 Performance Guide .......................................................................................... 37 Organization of the Study ................................................................................ 37 4 THE EMERGENCE OF THE SIX-STRING GUITAR AND BIOGRAPHIES OF FERNANDO SOR AND MAURO GUILIANI ....................................... 38 Emergence of the Six-string Guitar ................................................................. 38 Fernando Sor .................................................................................................... 45 Mauro Giuliani ................................................................................................. 52 5 ANALYSES ..................................................................................................... 62 Sor's Sonata in C, Op. 22 ................................................................................. 62 Sor's Sonata in C, Op. 25 ................................................................................. 93 Giuliani's Sonata in C, Op. 15 .......................................................................... 121 The Comparison of Sor and Giuliani's Sonata Style in Their Multi-movement Sonatas ............................................................................................................. 150 iv Chapter 6 PERFORMANCE GUIDE .............................................................................. 162 Sor's Sonata in C, Op. 22 ................................................................................. 162 Sor's Sonata in C, Op. 25 ................................................................................. 184 Giuliani's Sonata in C, Op. 15 .......................................................................... 190 7 FINAL REMARKS ......................................................................................... 198 BIBLIOGRAPHY…………........ ................................................................................ 199 v LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES Example Page 2.1.
