by Cedric T. Davie
Cedric Thorpe Davie is himself a noted composer, and musical
forms are as familiar to him as armatures are to the sculptor. As a
result, he is able not only to describe them clearly, but also to
evaluate their qualities and to point out their truly characteristic
fundamentals. It is his discussions of such core questions as: What is
the true basis of sonata form? And What are the qualities of a
successful form that make for convincing music? that cause his book to
be the unusually interesting and lively study that it is.
The text
defines and describes the forms commonly used by Western composers in
the period between 1550 and 1900. These are the binary and ternary
forms, including the de capo
aria, minuet-and-trio, and rondo; the sonata form; the forms in the
concerto; variation forms — including ground bass, passacaglia, and
chaconne; and the contrapuntal forms, notably the fugue and canon. Each
form is illustrated with a detailed analysis of a specific piece or
movement, usually from the work of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven,
but often from Purcell, Brahms, Dvorak, or other composers. The student
is also referred to a list of compositions in the same form for further
study.
Experienced musicians, both professional and amateur, and
students will find the author's thoughtful, well-written discussions of
the controversial aspects of formal analysis extremely perceptive and
stimulating. Beginning music lovers, even those with little or no
training in music, will come away from a thorough reading of the book
with a good knowledge of each important musical form, and with a greatly
increased insight into the way music is organized.
