  7. Another transition idea, a tune (a theme) heading to a goal . . .

  8. ARRIVAL! But not where we expected . . . (minor key instead of major)

  9. Is this the second theme? (it seems to be)

  10. Is this the second theme? Yes, I’m pretty sure now, but we are still headed to another goal . . .

  11. A new theme, in a major key

  12. A new theme, in a major key Seems rather generously long . . .

  13. That transition passage work again

  14. Cool rhythmic dislocation

  15. Heavy accent on 2

  16. New theme (closing theme)

  17. Idea (theme) That means this is probably the repeat of exposition

  18. Idea, slightly varied Yes, this is the repeat of the exposition

  19. Idea extended

  20. Transition idea (“passage work”)

  21. Transition idea repeated, but changed at end

  22. Another transition idea, a tune (a theme) heading to a goal . . .

  23. ARRIVAL! But not where we expected . . . (minor key instead of major)

  24. Is this the second theme? (no doubt about it now)

  25. more the second theme Heading back to that other goal . . .

  26. A new theme, in a major key (I think now I understand why it seems relatively long and almost static – this is needed to balance that ambiguous second theme)

  27. That transition passage work again

  28. Cool rhythmic dislocation

  29. Heavy accent on 2

  30. New theme (closing theme)

  31. Development Variation on closing theme, then rich unpredictable harmonic progression – where is it going?

  32. Back home? Recapitulation?

  33. NO! Fake out – wrong key and we’re off into uncharted harmonic territory again

  34. Cool rhythmic dislocation

  35. Variation on opening theme, leading to . . .

  36. HOME! Sneaky return

  37. Business as usual (recapitulation) • Opening theme (in C Major, as in the beginning)

  38. Business as usual (recapitulation) • Opening theme • Transitional material, tweaked

  39. Business as usual (recapitulation) • Opening theme • Transitional material, tweaked • Second theme, still in minor, but C minor(first time it was in G minor. Can you hear a difference? I’m not sure I do)

  40. Business as usual (recapitulation) • Opening theme • Transitional material, tweaked • Second theme, still in minor, but C minor • Third theme (now in C Major; it was in G Major)

  41. Business as usual (recapitulation) • Opening theme • Transitional material, tweaked • Second theme, still in minor, but C minor • Third theme (now in G Major) • Closing theme (in C Major, the appropriate key for wrapping things up)

  42. What the???? Harmonic swampland!

  43. ? What the???? ? A cadenza?? (A cadenza is a free section for the soloist in a concerto. This is a sonata, not a concerto!)

  44. OK, only joking . . .Opening idea

  45. Transition material “cleansed” and simplifiedloud then soft ending

  46. Loud, athletic ending
