  • INTRODUCTION

    Until the middle of the nineteenth century in Europe, music and dance were closely linked, both stylistically and socially. The ability to dance skilfully signi]ied both health and education, and the leadership of heads of state, from Elizabeth I of England to Louis XIV of France, insured that dance and its musics were well embedded in the highest levels of culture and politics. Lully gathered a variety of French regional dances and adapted them for use in opera and ballet, in the process generating the genres of dance musics that would remain stable until the late eighteenth century and that were widely adopted in other European countries. After the French Revolution, a similar process was undertaken by the now dominant middle class, as a variety of national dances largely displaced the older menuets, gavottes, and rigaudons: these included waltzes of several types, Scots dances (schottisch or ecossaise), redowas, mazurkas, and eventually polkas. Alongside them, the older group dances continued in the form of quadrilles, but musical styles were no longer associated with speci]ic dance ]igures as in the past (quadrilles used many different musics, including tunes borrowed from opera or from folk or popular repertoires).For most of this time period, individual dances remained short and works of any length were generated by chaining multiple dances together (see Chapter 9 for a list of common forms created this way). Music might be a single strain (typically 8 bars, sometimes more, up to 16 bars), or it might be built in the familiar two-reprise form (most often 8+8, occasionally 8+16) with or without thematic reprise, or two strains might be made into three in a da capo or en rondeau form (ABA, where the ]irst A closes in the tonic key). From these simple forms any number of longer forms could be assembled to suit the needs of the dancers. In more complex versions, these designs were transferred into the third and fourth movements of the sonata and symphony, especially from the early 1770s on: the third movement is the familiar menuet and trio, the fourth is often based on the contredanse and frequently borrows its rondeau (rondo) designs. Especially notable examples occur in works by Haydn and Mozart from this period (see Chapter 6, C and D; also my article The Contredanse, Classical Finales, and Caplins Formal Functions in Music Theory Online: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.06.12.4/mto.06.12.4.neumeyer.html and its references).Much of the information provided in this volume is intended to supplement the form theory presented in William E. Caplin, Classical Form: A Theory of Formal Functions for the Instrumental Music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998). Most of it is also available through my personal website http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~neumeyer/index.html or on my now defunct (though not deleted) blog Hearing Schubert D779n13. A small amount of additional, newly written information and commentary has been added.Caplins theory is designed to address the relation of harmony and formal functions in the different movement types one encounters in the Classical sonata, quartet, and symphony. Given that, the large forms of sonata and rondo naturally receive the lions share of

  • attention, but in presenting and developing his model, Caplin works carefully from the smallest units upward to large forms. The basic unit is the theme, an 8-measure, two-phrase entity that is both building block and referential element for large-scale dramatic and expressive designs that pit themes against areas of less rigorously formed musical material (Caplin calls this a contrast of tight knit and loose forms). Because of the meticulous attention given to small-scale, theme units, Caplins theory is also very well-suited to style studies of dance musics. I undertook such a study in connection with the article mentioned above, but also for the sake of teaching, and to satisfy my own curiosity. The material of Chapters 1 & 2 were meant as reference for students in a graduate form and analysis class where we use Classical Form as the textbook. Chapter 1 lists characteristics of the theme units and provides an alternative way of looking at them by writing multiple versions of the ]irst half of a Beethoven German dance. The chapter also provides basic reference information and links to repertoire for 16-bar units and small forms. Chapter 2 offers repertoire examples for all the theme types, along with analysis narratives for a French contredanse (probably from the ]irst decade of the nineteenth century) and a menuet from Hummels Op. 39 (1811). Chapter 3, which concludes Part 1, has a large number of additional repertoire examples, all from Beethoven, but these pieces were originally analyzed to answer a style question: how well do these functional dances (that is, music meant speci]ically for social dancing) collate with their cousins in the concert repertoire? Generalizations offered under each section include some negatives: the period does not appear very often, contrary to expectations about its conventionality, but hybrid theme types are very common; and the terminology does not align well with strong contrasts between phrases that are not motivically based, an especially important issue in waltzes (German dances and Laendler). On the other hand, the second sections of binary forms tend to follow expectations, most often combining a contrasting middle with a cadential function. Laendler are also unexpectedly dif]icult to categorize because, unlike menuets, where variety is a virtue, Laendler are often highly repetitious.The chapters of Part 2 consist of tables of data for the ]irst sections (strains) of a wide variety of dance pieces as old as seventeenth-century English country dances (Playford), ranging across the eighteenth century in French sources, and reaching as far as the Viennese Classical composers and their contemporaries. At the beginning of Chapter 4 I offer at least one conclusion that can be drawn from all this material: as with the Beethoven dances discussed in Chapter 2, perhaps the most important insight is a realization of the variety of thematic classes employed in these musics: an historical narrative that charts a path from the eighteenth-century period to the 19th-century sentence is much too simplistic, even setting Playford aside as an inexplicable outlier. One can indeed see a sharp trend toward limiting designs to the period in the second half of the eighteenth century, but the hybrid antecedent + continuation, common in the earlier French contredanses, remains important also. And in the early nineteenth century, one does not see an equally sharp turn toward the sentence; if anything, it would appear that the earlier variety of designs is recovered.

  • CHAPTER 1:

    Summary of Caplins form functions for themes and small forms

    A. BEETHOVEN DANCE EXAMPLES FOR CAPLIN FUNCTIONSThe following section includes the content of the web page http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~neumeyer/Beethoven_exxs.html PLEASE NOTE: Throughout this Lile you will Lind live links -- clicking on them will take you out of this PDF Lile to web pages opened in your browser window.The information here is meant for study and as an aid to memory, to increase facility in using William Caplin's terms for formal functions in phrases and themes (sentence, period, and their hybrids). I am grateful to Professor Caplin for his detailed comments on the original set of lists and examples presented here (in an email message 10 September 2005).The Oxford University Press page for this title: http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Music/MusicTheoryAnalysisComposition/?view=usa&ci=9780195143997 B. LIST OF THEME ELEMENTS:

    1-2, 3-4: Two-bar units within the ]irst four bars (of eight) normally function in one of three classes:First two bars: basic ideaSecond two bars: repetition of the basic idea contrasting idea Note: under "repetition of the basic idea," Caplin distinguishes three types: (1) exact, (2) statement-response, and (3) sequential. I would add (4) "varied" as an alternative to "exact" for cases of minor embellishment.5-6, 7-8: Two-bar units within the second four bars (of eight) function in a variety of ways, including all those named above plus small model-sequence groups, fragmentation with or without sequence, cadential, and (rarely) new material. 1-4, 5-8: Four-bar units function in one of six classes: First four bars: p1. presentation p2. antecedent

  • p3. compound basic idea (**NB: I strongly prefer "weak antecedent" to Caplin's "compound basic idea.")Second four bars: p4. continuation (sub-class: p4.1. "continuation->cadential") p5. consequent sub-classes: p5.1. "modulating consequent" to PAC in another keyp5.2. "failed consequent" moves to HC or IAC in same or different keyp6. cadential My view is that the distinctions between "continuation," "continuation->cadential," and "cadential" lean too heavily in the direction of prioritizing harmony and, in any case, are often too ]ine to be all that useful. In teaching, I say that "cadential" means the cadential progression (which could mean an ECP with I6) starts in bar 5, "continuation->cadential" means it starts in bar 6, and "continuation" means bar 7.1-8: Eight-bar units function in one of seven classes (I have added an eighth): c1. period c2. sentence c3. period with modulating consequent c4. hybrid 1 (antecedent + continuation) c5. hybrid 2 (antecedent + cadence) c6. hybrid 3 (compound basic idea ["weak antecedent"] + continuation) c7. hybrid 4 (compound basic idea ["weak antecedent"] + consequent) c8. "hybrid 5" (presentation + consequent)Caplin's seven classes make up the list of all the eight-bar functional units commonly found in the music of the Vienna School. Only three from all possible combinations of the four-bar units are missing: 1. presentation + consequent, which I have added because it is occasionally found in social dances: 2. presentation + cadential; and 3. compound basic idea ["weak antecedent"] + cadential. I will add 2 & 3 to the list if I ever ]ind any instances of them in music.The examples below are all based on the ]irst eight bars of Beethoven, 12 German Dances, WoO8, no. 2 (composed in 1795, about the same time as the Trios, Op. 1, and the Piano Sonatas, Op. 2). Beethoven's original is under c3 (period with a modulating consequent -- because the perfect authentic cadence is to V, not to I). I have composed a presentation and a compound basic idea ["weak antecedent"], building on Beethoven's basic idea (mm. 1-2), and I have also supplied new consequent, continuation, and cadential phrases. The consequent restates the basic idea literally, after which a cadence follows (c1 below). The continuation starts with a one-bar idea derived from the basic idea, applies sequence to it, then comes to a cadence (c2). The cadential phrase is very close to the continuation except that an unstable I6 already supports bar 5 and thus expands the cadential progression across the entire phrase (c5). All units are labelled to match the lists above.

  • D. SMALL TERNARY FORMS 16-bar type: The small ternary may run no more than 16 bars (as 8+8) if the ]inal four repeat the basic idea at the original level and a cadence follows. 24-bar type: normally 8 + 16, where 9-16 = contrasting middle; 17-24 = recapitulation with PAC in the home key. 32-bar type: normally 16 + 16, where 17-24 = contrasting middle; 25-32 = recapitulation with PAC in the home key. A variant of the 32-bar-small ternary is 8+24, where the ]irst part is a standard 8-bar period or sentence and the second part typically includes an extended contrasting middle.The "contrasting middle" consists of a continuation (with or without a new basic idea), standing on the dominant (usually with a new idea), sentence or -- rarely -- period (with new idea), or for longer pieces some combination of the above. Some examples of small ternary forms and their components: Numbers 4 & 6, and the trios to nos. 2, 3, 5, & 6 in this set: Menuets, WoO10 The ]irst three dances in this set: Beethoven, Lndler, WoO11 Examples of techniques for the contrasting middle: Contrasting Middle, set 1 E. SMALL BINARY FORMS Bars 1-8: any period, sentence, or hybrid typeBars 9-16: (1) contrasting middle + continuation (or continuation-->cadential, or cadential); (2) contrasting middle and "consequent" (new b.i. and c.i.); (3) new sentence; (4) cadential; (5) (not common) cadential plus post-cadential extension. NOTE: With respect to harmony, if bar 9 is stable on the tonic, then the odds increase that 9-16 will be a new sentence;if bar 9 is a clearly de]ined subdominant type, then 9-16 are probably cadential; if bar 9 is stable on the dominant or unstable on any harmony, 9-12 are most likely contrasting middle.NOTE: Although the note-by-note contents of a 16-bar small binary form and a 16-bar period or sentence could conceivably be identical, the binary form is distinct because of the repetitions of the two parts (and also because elements of the "contrasting middle" function are almost routine: bars 9-12 in the 16 bar themes make very strong ties to the beginning). Some examples of small binary forms: Numbers 1, 2, 3, & 5, and the trios to nos. 1 & 4 in this set: Menuets, WoO10 The last four dances (4-7) in this set: Beethoven, Lndler, WoO11 All six dances in this set: Beethoven, Lndler, WoO15

    Examples of themes and small forms (1)

    A. THEME TYPES: EXAMPLESThis set of examples is taken mostly from eighteenth-century sources earlier than the classical Viennese repertoire covered in Classical Form. Most come from the keyboard works of J. J. Fux and are meant to offer clear-cut instances of each theme type. 1. Period 1a. Period with modulating consequent or half cadence2. Sentence3. Caplin's Hybrid 1: antecedent + continuation4. Caplin's Hybrid 2: antecedent + cadential5. Caplin's Hybrid 3: "weak antecedent" + continuation **NB: I strongly prefer "weak antecedent" to Caplin's "compound basic idea." 6. Caplin's Hybrid 4: "weak antecedent" + consequent7. Other "Hybrids" (a): presentation + consequent8. Other "Hybrids" (b): presentation + cadential9. Other "Hybrids" (c): "weak antecedent" + cadential PeriodLa Cuisse, contredanse "La Victorieuse," ]irst strain. The second strain also has the melodic shapes and sequence of a period but is harmonically unstable, as it opens in D major but moves to and closes in A major. It might be better to invoke Caplins theme-like unit as the category label for this second strain.

  • Other "Hybrids" (a): presentation + consequent"Arquebus," La Clef de Coeurs, ]irst strain.The second and third strains are close variants of the ]irst; these might easily have arisen in performance. It is very rare, however, to see strains as variations in the published contredanse repertoire. The second strain transforms the ]irst into an antecedent-continuation pair. The third strain is a presentation-consequent pair like the ]irst strain.Other "Hybrids" (b): presentation + cadential No example yet.Other "Hybrids" (c): "weak antecedent" + cadential No example yet.

    Chapter 2, p. 17

  • B. CONTRASTING MIDDLE, REPERTOIRE EXAMPLESThe second parts of small binary and small ternary forms are quite predictable overall. The dif]iculty comes in distinguishing among the various possible components. The goal of this page is to supplement that study with a few clear-cut examples, all drawn from early Haydn piano sonatas. 1. continuation phrase (with a new basic idea) Note: Variants (continuation-->cadential, or cadential) are possible. 2. continuation phrase (without a new basic idea)3. standing on the dominant (usually with a new idea)4. sentence with new idea5. (rare) period with new idea6. some combination of the above7. Binary forms only: continuation or standing on the dominant + consequent8. Binary forms only: extended cadential function9. Binary forms only: cadential + post-cadential extensionContinuation phrase (with a new basic idea) Haydn, an early Sonata in E Major, Finale theme. Caplin describes the ]irst section as a period with failed consequent (88, Ex. 7.1), because of the unusual move to V of vi, Haydn's quirky way of undermining expectations in what otherwise is a very straightforward 2/4 contredanse. The second section is an 8-bar continuation phrase that is a sequence of a new basic idea, plus a quick cadence at the end.

    Examples of Themes and Small Forms (1), p. 18

  • Continuation phrase (without a new basic idea) Haydn, Divertimento [sonata] in C major, Menuet. A four-measure continuation phrase ending on a HC, followed by a full reprise of the A section.

    Chapter 2, p. 19

  • Standing on the dominant Haydn, Sonata in G Major, Allegro (]inale). Four measures of standing on the dominant (piano), followed by a repetition of same with inverted counterpoint (forte).Examples of Themes and Small Forms (1), p. 20

  • Haydn, Sonata in G Major, Presto (]inale), Trio. The dominant doesn't have to be a pedal point.

    Haydn, Sonata in D Major, menuet. The dominant doesn't have to be a pedal point.

    Chapter 2, p. 21

  • Sentence (with or without a new idea) Haydn, Sonata in G Major, Presto (]inale). A classic sentence in the tonally expressive area of the contrasting middle.

    Haydn, Sonata in A Major, Menuet with variations, theme. Another classic sentence, but here the entire second section is a variant form of the ]irst.

    Examples of Themes and Small Forms (1), p. 22

  • Haydn, Sonata in F Major, Scherzo (]inale). A classic sentence in the tonally expressive area of the contrasting middle.Chapter 2, p. 23

  • (Rare) Period with or without new idea Haydn, early Sonata in D Major, menuet. The basic idea of the second period (mm. 9-16) uses the same opening motivic bit but is essentially new.

    Haydn, Sonata in A Major, Finale. See above under sentence (with or without a new idea). The entire second section is a variant form of the ]irst.

    Examples of Themes and Small Forms (1), p. 24

  • Some combination of the above Haydn, Divertimento [sonata] in C major, Trio of the Menuet. An extended continuation phrase (which can be considered cadential throughout) starts with fragmentation of the main motive then introduces a new motive.

    Haydn, an early Sonata in A major, Menuet. A truncated (2 + 4) sentence built on the original basic idea.

    Chapter 2, p. 25

  • Haydn, another early Sonata in A major, Menuet. The 2d strain starts with 4 bars of a simple standing on the dominant, followed by a 6-bar truncated sentence on an entirely new idea.

    Binary forms only: continuation or standing on the dominant, plus consequent Haydn, an early Sonata in E Major, Finale theme. A variation of the theme (see Continuation phrase above), this is a clear period with modulating consequent. Mm. 9-12 are a simple standing on the dominant with fragmentation of the basic idea. The ]inal four bars a little less obvious: a varied version of the consequent (mm. 5.8).

    Binary forms only: extended cadential function Binary forms only: cadential + post-cadential extension No examples found as of yet.

  • C. DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-SECTION MUSICAL COMPOSITION USING A FRENCH CONTREDANSE, LA DORLY, FROM LOUIS JULIEN CLARCHIES, RECUEIL DES CONTRE-DANSES ET WALZESTo provide additional examples of themes and small forms, I have reproduced and adapted a contredanse from a volume in a large collection of dances published in Paris by Louis Julien Clarchies and reproduced on the Library of Congress American Memory site, in the section "An American Ballroom Companion: Dance Instruction Manuals." Bibliographic information may be found at Clarchies. NB: These are live links -- they will take you out of this PDF Lile to web pages opened in your browser window.The page for the dance "La Dorly" is: Receuil 28, no. 3: La Dorly. The 28th volume is the only one in the Library of Congress' collection that arranges its dances in the ]ive-part sequence of the early nineteenth-century quadrille (or group dance for four couples); three such sets are formed by nos. 1-5, 6-10, and 11-15, respectively. By mid-century, the quadrille had expanded to six parts, but the third position (called "la poule") remained the same. All dances of the quadrille are contredanses in either of the traditional meters (2/4 or 6/8); the distinctions between the dances derive from the ]igures, not from the music.List of examples: 1. Clarchies' original ]irst strain with an analysis of formal functions after Caplin. 2. "strophic form" (= the ]irst strain repeated ad hoc). 3. compound theme (16-bar period). 4. small binary. 5. small ternary. 6. "rondeau" (= Clarchies' original (three strains).

  • 1. Clarchies' original ]irst strain with an analysis of formal functions after Caplin. A hybrid theme, with antecedent and continuation.

    2. "strophic form" (= the ]irst strain repeated ad hoc). The simplest possible way to create a small form is by literal (or slightly varied) repetition. This has its uses in the context of social dancing.

    Formal Functions in Themes and Small Forms: Examples from Beethoven, p. 28

  • 3. compound theme (16-bar period). I altered the cadence in bar 8 to produce an 8-bar antecedent, then added an 8-bar consequent to complete the theme. (Writing a 16-bar sentence would have required more extensive alterations of the original strain.)

    4. small binary.

  • D. DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-SECTION MUSICAL COMPOSITION USING ANOTHER DANCE: HUMMEL, MENUET, OP. 39N1:Johann Hummel's original orchestral dances for the Apollo-Saal, an enormous Viennese establishment that included over two dozen halls and other features, were published simultaneously in keyboard versions. Opus 39 includes menuets and German dances for the 1811 Carneval season (roughly, New Years to Ash Wednesday). A facsimile of this publication can be found on IMSLP: Hummel, op39.

    For this example, I will gradually "construct" the dance. A sharply pro]iled sentence begins: a dominant-level "answer" to the basic idea, followed by a third statement aligned with the beginning of an ECP that runs through the second phrase.

    As it happens, the passage above is the consequent of a 16mm period, where the antecedent is built very similarly. Unfortunately, Caplin's terminology does become confusing here: remember that an 8mm sentence can serve as the antecedent of a 16mm period.

    Formal Functions in Themes and Small Forms: Examples from Beethoven, p. 32

  • And -- as it happens -- the 16mm period above is the A-section of a small ternary form: see below, where the contrasting middle consists of a standing on the dominant passage (using the b.i.) interrupted for a HC, and the reprise is truncated, offering yet another version of a sentence.

    And -- there is a trio, based on a melody from a popular opera, Joseph Weigl's Die Schweizer Familie, also known to be a particular favorite of the young Franz Schubert. The A section is another sentence. After a brief contrasting middle, the "reprise" is a bit of a surprise: the contrasting idea that begins the continuation in section A becomes the starting point of a conventional period.

    A. DESIGNS AND FORMAL FUNCTIONS FOR ALL DANCES (SCORE FORMAT)

    Beethoven, 12 Menuets, WoO7The Menuets in WoO7 and the German Dances, WoO8, were composed in 1795, about the same time as the Trios, Op. 1, and the Piano Sonatas, Op. 2. Both sets were composed for orchestra. Although the publisher Artaria announced that the piano arrangements were by Beethoven himself, there is no conclusive evidence that it is true -- such arrangements were commonly produced by employees of the publisher -- although it should be said that the arranger was clearly a pianist, because the pieces do lie well under the hands.

The page includes a facsimile of the ]irst edition of the piano solo version, digitized by the Beethoven-Haus, Bonn.Formal functions are supplied using William Caplin's terminology. Conclusions to be drawn about the ]irst strains include: (1) the surprising variety of forms -- or, to put this negatively, the "stereotypical" period is by no means the most common type: in fact it only appears once, although six dances use the "weak antecedent" [compound basic idea] plus consequent, nor is the sentence so common as one might expect (it appears three times), (2) the large number of hybrid forms, and (3) the weakness of the functional terminology at capturing a strong sense of contrast between bars 1-4 and 5-8 -- it is evident that the label "continuation" is too broad, but it is, on the other hand, dif]icult to think what might effectively distinguish a "contrasting phrase" from a continuation. Nevertheless, the idea of immediate and sharp contrast between phrases (and strains) is a particular feature of the waltz, one that is related to a similar tendency in later 18th-century menuets and that persists -- as a contrast of strains -- far into the waltz's later history.Conclusions about the second strains (and overall form): Four of the dances are small ternary forms, the other nineteen are small binaries, but, as was the case in the ]irst strains, details of the formal functions for the complete dances vary quite a bit. Most, however, do follow expected patterns: (1) in 9-12, contrasting middle (using standing on the dominant, fragmentation, or model-sequence based on an idea from part one (or a new idea)); (2) in 13-16, sixteen of the dances spread a cadential function across the phrase. Note: I use the term "model-repetition" for the case where a two-measure model is stated, but then literally repeated rather than transposed or signi]icantly varied.

    B. DESIGNS AND FORMAL FUNCTIONS FOR ALL DANCES (TABLE FORMAT)

    Beethoven, 12 German Dances, WoO8All dances and trios are 16 bars, as 8+8 with both strains repeated. Most of the twenty three dances are cast as small binaries; four are small ternary forms. All but the ]irst dance have trios; the set also has a lengthy coda with Posthorn solos (this 133-bar coda is essentially an independent piece). All dances except the ]irst, therefore, are cast in a compound ternary design (dance--trio--dance da capo), though of course in performance for dancing these designs may have been altered substantially. They were very possibly played in the 'alternativo' manner that is still employed in Strauss waltzes of the mid-nineteenth century. Mozart already refers to this in notes for his K. 509 (1787): "Each German dance has its trio or rather 'alternativo' - after the 'alternativo' the dance is repeated, then comes the 'alternativo' again; it then goes via the introduction into the next dance."[conclusions repeated from previous section] Conclusions to be drawn from the table below include: (1) the surprising variety of forms (or, to put this negatively, the "stereotypical" period is by no means the most common type), (2) the large number of hybrid forms (two "deviant" types are marked with *), and (3) the weakness of the functional terminology at capturing a strong sense of contrast between bars 1-4 and 5-8 -- it is evident that the label "continuation" is too broad, but it is, on the other hand, dif]icult to think what might effectively

  • distinguish a "contrasting phrase" from a continuation. Nevertheless, the idea of immediate and sharp contrast between phrases (and strains) is a particular feature of the waltz, one that is related to a similar tendency in later 18th-century menuets and that persists -- as a contrast of strains -- far into the waltz's later history.First strains: 1. sentence2. period with modulating consequent 2-trio. hyb3 (compound basic idea + continuation) -- with strong contrast3. hyb3 (compound basic idea + continuation) 3-trio. hyb3 (compound basic idea + cadential) -- the cadence may be understood as occurring in mm.5-6 or 7-8.

DESIGNS AND FORMAL FUNCTIONS FOR ALL DANCES (SCORE FORMAT)

    Beethoven, 6 Menuets, WoO10: designs and formal functions These dances were composed for orchestra in 1796; the piano arrangements might have been made by Beethoven himself, but there is no conclusive evidence that this is true. The occasion for which the dances were written is unknown, as is their function for dancing or listening (of course, it could easily have been both). The fact that the opening key does return at the end but by means of an implausible move (D major -> C) undermines the notion that the menuets were meant to be played as a group. The scores used here come from the ]irst Beethoven complete works edition: Werke. Vollstndige kritisch durchgesehene berall berechtigte Ausgabe (Leipzig, Breitkopf & Hartel (1864-90)), Series 18: Kleinere Stcke fr das Pianoforte. Each of the six Menuets has a trio. All twelve dances are 16 bars long, in an 8+8 format. The following are small ternary forms -- no. 2; no. 2 trio; no. 3 trio; no. 4; no. 5 trio; no. 6; no. 6 trio -- though some judgments had to be made about what is suf]icient to declare bar 13ff a reprise, a common problem in such small forms. The other dances are small binaries. The score for each dance and trio pair is given below preceded by a description of the formal functions in each of the strains. Note that, for simplicity's sake (because these forms are so small), I have used "Part" to label each segment enclosed in repeat signs, whether or not the form is small binary or small ternary (for the latter, Caplin uses ABA). About the ]irst strains, the conclusions to be drawn are (1) that they follow the simpler models more closely than do, for example, the waltzes of WoO8; (2) that, despite this, they don't often observe the "textbook" expectation of the parallel period that one is likely to associate with a traditional dance like the menuet.About the second strains, it is ]irst of all surprising that there are no extended (16-bar) units with 8-bar literal reprises, of the kind that are very familiar from the menuet movements in the sonata and symphony repertoire. Second, the results are very similar to

    Chapter 3, p. 61

  • those for WoO8 for bars 9-12 (contrasting middle, using standing on the dominant, fragmentation, or model-sequence based on an idea from part one (or a new idea)); but quite different for bars 13-16 -- in WoO8, sixteen of the twenty three dances spread a cadential function across the phrase, but in WoO10 only one does so: ]ive use a continuation function and six attempt reprises of varying degrees of clarity. No. 1: small binary. Part 1: sentence. Part 2: contrasting middle (standing on the dominant) + continuation (variant of bars 5-8)

    No. 1, trio: small binary. Part 1: hybrid (antecedent + cadential). Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence) + continuation. The latter is almost identical melodically to 5-8 but tonic harmony is reached in bar 14.

    Formal Functions in Themes and Small Forms: Examples from Beethoven, p. 62

  • No. 2: small binary. Part 1: period (The effect is clear even if the basic idea is transposed down a third in bars 5-6.). Part 2: hybrid (antecedent + continuation). Remarkably, the continuation is a partial reprise of mm. 5-8.

    No. 2, trio: small ternary. Part 1: hybrid (antecedent + continuation). Part 2: contrasting

    Chapter 3, p. 63

  • middle (standing on the dominant) + reprise. The cadential function takes over very quickly here (by the last beat of bar 13).

    No. 3: small binary. Part 1: sentence. Bars 5-8 might be cadential rather than continuation, depending on how you read beats 2-3 of bar 6. Part 2: contrasting middle (model-repetition) + continuation. Though I have labelled bars 9-12 "contrasting middle," they have strong presentation qualities, too: only the unstable tonic prevents our calling Part 2 another sentence. Bars 13-16 are virtually identical to 5-8.

    Formal Functions in Themes and Small Forms: Examples from Beethoven, p. 64

  • No. 3, trio: small ternary. Part 1: hybrid (presentation + continuation->cadential). There is strong contrast between the two phrases. Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence -- standing on the dominant?) + reprise.

    No. 4: small ternary. Part 1: sentence (here again the continuation is a sharp contrast to the presentation). Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence, standing on the dominant) + reprise

    Chapter 3, p. 65

  • No. 4, trio: small binary. Part 1: sentence (fragmentation using a single motive runs throughout the dance). Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence) + continuation

    No. 5: small binary. Part 1: sentence. Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence) + cadential. Bars 5-8 provide the melodic ]igures in 13-16, which might have been considered a reprise (bar 13 = bar 1) except for the I6 that drives harmonic (and cadential) function to the fore.

    Formal Functions in Themes and Small Forms: Examples from Beethoven, p. 66

  • No. 5, trio: small ternary. Part 1: period (antecedent + modulating consequent, the awkward bit here being that the modulation occurs immediately, in bar 5). Part 2: contrasting middle (fragmentation, sequence) + reprise (=a literal transposition of 5-8 from dominant to tonic level).

    No. 6: small ternary. Part 1: period (antecedent + modulating consequent). Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence, standing on the dominant) + reprise

    Chapter 3, p. 67

  • No. 6, trio: small ternary. Part 1: sentence. Part 2: contrasting middle (model-sequence) + reprise. The latter is weak -- 13-16 might have been called continuation instead.

    Formal Functions in Beethoven, 7 Lndrische Tnze, WoO11: Scores from the Beethoven WerkeWoO11 was composed in 1799. It consists of seven dances (without trios) and a coda which continues the ]igures of the seventh dance. All the dances but no. 2 are 16 bars; no. 2 is 24 in an 8+16 design that includes a literal reprise of mm. 1-8. Since all the dances are in D major, it seems obvious that this entire set is what would be called a waltz some 20-30 years later by Josef Lanner and Johann Strauss, sr.: several short dances played in succession, with some probably acting as trios to others. The set shows strongly the violinistic arpeggio ]igures characteristic of the Lndler. The scores used here come from the ]irst Beethoven complete works edition: Werke. Vollstndige kritisch durchgesehene berall berechtigte Ausgabe (Leipzig, Breitkopf & Hartel (1864-90)), Series 18: Kleinere Stcke fr das Pianoforte. Unlike menuets, where variety was a virtue prized as much as symmetry, Lndler were often highly repetitious, as these excellent imitations of the traditional style by Beethoven amply demonstrate. Note in particular how often the rhythms of a four-bar phrase are

  • repeated, intact, in others, even those in the "contrasting middle" that opens Part 2 in most of these dances. No. 1: small ternary. Part 1: "weak period," or compound basic idea, repeated. Part 2: contrasting middle (cadential, with repetition of one-bar idea) + reprise.

    Chapter 3, p. 69

  • No. 2: small ternary. Part 1: hybrid, or antecedent + continuation (with identical rhythms). Part 2: contrasting middle (cadential, using basic idea), repeated to make 8 bars + 8-bar reprise.

    No. 3: small ternary. Part 1: "weak period," or compound basic idea, repeated. Part 2: contrasting middle (standing on the dominant) + reprise.

    Formal Functions in Themes and Small Forms: Examples from Beethoven, p. 70

  • No. 4: small binary. Part 1: "weak period," or compound basic idea, repeated but varied. Part 2: cadential (with new one-bar idea) + the same repeated.

    No. 5: small binary. Part 1: hybrid, or presentation + consequent (the entire eight bars, however, also being cadential). Part 2: sentence-like, or presentation from Part 1, now in the subdominant key, followed by cadential, a variant of the cadence from Part 1.

    Chapter 3, p. 71

  • No. 6: small binary. Part 1: hybrid, or presentation + consequent (=same, repeated). Part 2: hybrid, or compound basic idea + same, repeated.

    No. 7: small binary. Part 1: period, where consequent starts with dominant position of the basic idea. Part 2: cadential phrase + reprise (?), both using rhythms of the antecedent.

  • Beethoven, 7 Contradances, WoO14: Formal functions after Caplin (score format)The contradances, WoO14, are understood as 12 in the nineteenth-century Breitkopf edition of Beethoven's works (go to IMSLP page). Five of those dances are not by Beethoven and were deleted here. Contradance n1 in C major. = Breitkopf n1. Combining standing-on-the-dominant with a cadential phrase was a favorite device of the Viennese composers.

    Chapter 3, p. 73

  • Contradance n2 in A major. = Breitkopf n2. The presentation is on a dominant pedal (sustained notes in the horns in the orchestral version).

The design of the trio strain is simple, with the "inverted response" we have already seen in no.1 and which appears again in the trio of no. 7.

    Chapter 3, p. 75

  • Contradance n5 in Eb major. = Breitkopf n7. This famous little piece has a very clear-cut design, once again with the combined standing-on-the-dominant and cadential phrase of which the Viennese composers were quite fond.

    Contradance n6 in A major. = Breitkopf n9. The cadential function stretched over the entire strain is unusual, but more so is the "standing on the subdominant."

  • Formal Functions in Beethoven, 6 Lndrische Tnze, WoO15: Scores from the Beethoven WerkeFrom 1802, these dances are very similar to those of WoO11 in that they are a group meant to be performed together, in the manner of a waltz by Josef Lanner and Johann Strauss, sr. This set also shows strongly the violinistic arpeggio ]igures characteristic of the Lndler. There are six dances and a coda which continues the ]igures of no. 6. Each dance is in 16 bars; all are in D major except no. 4, which is in the parallel minor. The scores used here come from the ]irst Beethoven complete works edition: Werke. Vollstndige kritisch durchgesehene berall berechtigte Ausgabe (Leipzig, Breitkopf & Hartel (1864-90)), Series 18: Kleinere Stcke fr das Pianoforte. Unlike menuets, where variety was a virtue prized as much as symmetry, Lndler were often highly repetitious, as these excellent imitations of the traditional style by Beethoven amply demonstrate (the same was true of WoO11). If anything, these Lndler are even simpler (that is, more repetitious) than those in WoO11. No. 1: small binary. Part 1: hybrid, or compound basic idea + consequent (=same, repeated). Part 2: cadential (with new one-bar idea) + the same repeated (as in WoO11, n4). No. 2: small binary. Part 1: hybrid, or compound basic idea + consequent (=same, repeated). Part 2: cadential phrase, repeated. No. 3: small binary. Part 1:hybrid, or presentation + consequent (=same, repeated). Part 2: contrasting middle + cadential (=transposition of the contrasting middle phrase!). No. 4: small binary. Part 1: hybrid, or compound basic idea + consequent (=same, repeated). Part 2: cadential, with phrase repeated as if a consequent. No. 5: small binary. Part 1: period (?). Bars 3-4 apply fragmentation and repetition to the basic idea. In this context, that might be enough to qualify as "contrasting idea." Part 2: period, but with fragmentation and sequence worked in. No. 6: small binary. Part 1: hybrid, or compound basic idea + consequent (=same, repeated). Part 2: cadential, with phrase repeated as if a consequent.

    A. EXAMPLES OF THEME TYPES, AFTER WILLIAM E. CAPLIN, GATHERED IN TABLES AND WITH LINKSThe following section includes the content of the web page http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~neumeyer/themes_tables.htmlThe table below gathers data from several other pages on theme types in dance or dance-in]luenced pieces from a period roughly 1730-1820 (with a substantial drop back in time for Playford's collections). Follow the links for additional information and musical scores.Please understand that the information displayed here is not "cut and dried," a set of simple measurements. As Caplin makes abundantly clear throughout Classical Form, the assignment of labels for thematic elements often involves a judgment call. Nevertheless, I believe that the information in the table below, taken as a whole, offers useful insights into formal design in dances and some related musics. First among those insights is the variety of thematic classes employed: the historical narrative (derived by Caplin from Schoenberg but shared by many scholars) that charts a path from the 18th-century period to the 19th-century sentence is not just overly simplistic, it is simply wrong. One can indeed see a sharp trend toward limiting designs to the period in the second half of the 18th century, but the hybrid antecedent + continuation remains important also. And in the early 19th century, one does not see an equally sharp turn toward the sentence; instead, it would appear that the earlier variety of designs is recovered.Numbers will not always sum to the "Total" column because of other data (4-bar or 16-bar themes) not included here. Follow the links for additional information. NB: These are live links -- they will take you out of this PDF Lile to web pages opened in your browser window.Legend:
