I'm having a particuarly difficult time analyzing this piece and am unable to find any answers online. So if you can't find written answers listen to it and find out for yourself.
It starts off with the theme, which is repeated - that's your A section. It then goes on to a B section, which is augmented and played quietly, then the whole B section is repeated. You then have a C section, which has the slow first, then the fast - this is again repeated. The A section and B section are then repeated and you have a coda at the end
This is not really a conventional form AABBCCAB with a tiny coda - however it does have a lot of similarity to tertiary form - it's just your A section has a second distinct half to it.
Essentially it's the classic sonata form - one thing, which is developed and then restated. Don't be confused by the fact that it seems to have more sections and a less clear structure - Romantic music often does this. |
