Beschreibungen/Notizen
A reoccurring discussion found when referring to the sonata forms of Schubert’s instrumental music is his use of Romantic lyricism: a characteristic found in the melodic themes of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century music. Schubert’s use of lyricism has led to an underwhelming reception of his sonata form in his instrumental works. While these discussions are relevant, they overshadow Schubert’s understanding of sonata form through his ingenious harmonic relationships and tonal structural pillars. To show how Schubert’s use of lyricism in the foreground of the music does not compromise the thematic progress of his sonata form at a deeper layer of tonal structure, I will analyze the sonata form movements in his Great C-Major Symphony. These analyses demonstrate how Schubert keeps the structural pillars found in traditional sonata form, revealing his repetitive use of lyricism in his themes as individual and memorable foreground elements in the sonata-form genre.
