Chapter 28

FOOTNOTES:[25]A symphony, as we have seen, is only a sonata, on a large scale, for orchestra.[26]Even in Haydn, however, the second themes remain generally rather rudimentary (see the analysis of his "Surprise Symphony," later in this chapter). In many cases his second theme is hardly more than a variant of the first; as for example in the two pianoforte sonatas in E-flat major. In the first movement of his "Paukenwirbel" Symphony, however, there is a very distinct second theme, and in many other movements the student will note a marked tendency toward definition.[27]Published for piano, two or four hands, by Peters, Leipzig. For convenience of reference number all measures, and parts of measures, consecutively. The numbers will run to 258.[28]See Mason's "Beethoven and His Forerunners," page 218.[29]Arrangement for piano, two hands, in the Peters edition. Number the measures throughout. There are three hundred and seven. The general structure will be seen at a glance in the appended tabular view.[30]This is according to custom in movements written in minor keys. The second theme is in such cases usually put in the relative major instead of in the dominant. (See the chapter on "Folk-Song.")
