In some pieces in sonata form, in the recapitulation, the first subject group is omitted, leaving only the second subject group, like the second movement of Haydn's Sonata Hob. XVI/35, as well as the opening movements of Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 and No. 3 .
The sonata opens in a 2 4 time Adagio with a short, simple motif of three chords, at first forming an interrupted cadence, over which are written the three syllables Le-be-wohl ("Fare-thee-well"). This motif is the basis upon which both the first and the second subject groups are drawn.
The second subject group, marked dolce, is a chordal theme in E major, the mediant key. Modulation to the mediant for the second subject area is another feature shared by this sonata and the Sonata No. 16. [3] Beethoven would employ the same shift again in later works (in the Hammerklavier Sonata, for example).
In some compositions, a principal subject is announced and then a second melody, sometimes called a countersubject or secondary theme, may occur. When one of the sections in the exposition of a sonata-form movement consists of several themes or other material, defined by function and (usually) their tonality, rather than by melodic ...
The single fragmentary movement is in C-sharp minor and is in sonata form, breaking off at the end of the exposition. Schubert uses a three-key exposition, with a first subject group in the tonic and then a second subject group, first in E major (the relative major) and then G-sharp major (the dominant major). Unusually, the second subject ...
A major. In sonata form without development. Unusually, the second subject group is in the subdominant key of D major. [1] (III. Scherzo: Allegro vivace - Trio, D. 570) D major (IV. Allegro, D. 570) F-sharp minor. Fragment (breaks off at the end of the development)
The first subject's half-note rhythm, with some dotted notes, is related to the first subject of the D 625 sonata. [2] The "sigh motive" first encountered in bars 2 and 4, (with an accented first note), plays a very important role throughout the movement, both in its accentuation (on the downbeat) and its rhythm (abruptly breaking off on a ...
The second movement is in ternary form (or sonata form without development [4]).It opens with a highly ornamented lyrical theme in 3 4 time in F major (mm. 1–16). This is followed by a more agitated, 5-measure transitional passage in D minor (mm. 17–22) accompanied by quiet parallel thirds, followed by a passage full of thirty-second notes in C major (mm. 23–31).
