Sly (music theory, Michigan State U.) presents nine studies of sonata form by him and other music theorists from the US and Canada who analyze, from various perspectives, Beethoven's String
Quartet Op. 132, Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, Mahler's Third Symphony, Schubert's "Arpeggione" Sonata, Mozart's Piano Sonata in D Major, Schubert's works in general, Chopin's Fourth Ballade,
Beethoven's Second and Eighth Symphonies, and select sonata form movements composed in A major during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They consider dramatic interpretations, dramatic
tension, tonal drama, motivic organization, and tonal and formal anomalies in them. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
