<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Building on ideas first advanced by Arnold Schoenberg and later developed by Erwin Ratz, this book introduces a new theory of form for instrumental music in the classical style. The theory provides a broad set of principles and a comprehensive methodology for the analysis of classical form, <br>from individual ideas, phrases, and themes to the large-scale organization of complete movements. It emphasizes the notion of <em>formal function</em>, that is, the specific role a given formal unit plays in the structural organization of a classical work.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>This ambitious book offers nothing less than a new theory of form for the music of the Classical period....In its combination of scholarship, musicality and sheer common sense, Caplan's <em>Classical Form</em> is a major achievement by any standards....it should be read by anybody who teaches, studies or<br>writes about this music.--<em>Music and Letters</em><p></p><br>His book is an important and impressive statement that no theorist or musicologist can afford to ignore.--<em>Music Theory Spectrum</em><p></p><br>A compilation of intriguing examples illustrating classical design and function, an up-to-date bibliographical guide, and a source of fresh insight into the accomplishments of the classical masters. Caplin's approach, buttressed by methodological rigor and theoretical detail, makes a persuasive<br>case for the revival of Formenlehre as a pedagogical tool and analytical discipline.--<em>Music Theory Online</em><p></p><br>Caplin draws his Beethoven examples from all genres...the fortepiano sonatas are particularly well-represented.--<em>The Beethoven Journal</em><p></p><br><br>
