They illustrate their basic concepts andc oncerns by offering some concrete analyses of works by Mozart \u003ci\u003e(Idomeneo Overture\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJupiter Symphony\u003c\/i\u003e) and Beethoven (\u003ci\u003eFirst\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePastoral Symphony, \u003c\/i\u003e Egmont Overture, and Die Ruinen von Athen Overture).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume is divided into three parts, focusing on Caplin's \"theory of formal functions,\" Hepokoski's concept of \"dialogic form,\" and Webster's method of \"multivalent analysis\" respectively. Each part begins with a basic essay by one of the three authors. Subsequently, the two opposing authors comment on issues and analyses they consider to be problematic or underdeveloped, in a style that ranges from the gently critical to the overtly polemical. Finally, the author of the initial essay is given the opportunity to reply to the comments, and to further refine his own fundamental ideas on musical form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Webster is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Music at Cornell University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47416338677938,"sku":"9789058678225","price":68.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/b18d549bb81e7e97d87bca8d7aaff9d3.webp?v=1778404237","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/musical-form-forms-and-formenlehre-three-methodological-reflections-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
