David Larkin: Sonata Deformation Preparation Instructions Introduction
In the last few decades, there has been a revival of serious analytical engagement with structural archetypes such as sonata form. Sonata Theory, the work of James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy, has been at the forefront of what has been called the ‘new Formenlehre’ movement. As they conceive sonata form, it is a set of norms and more-or-less frequently encountered default procedures derived from a body of influential late eighteenth-century works; individual compositions are seen to be engaged in dialogue with this past repertory (and eventually, with theoretical models of the form).
One of the more stimulating, and at the same time, more controversial ideas associated with Sonata Theory is sonata deformation. Both the name and the associated concept have been subjected to critique, but it has quickly gained popularity as a way of studying works which engage with some aspects of sonata form but which in other respects diverge markedly from normative procedures.
Over the course of the two lectures on this topic I will present an outline of Sonata Theory before turning to the issue of sonata deformation, which will be explored as a theoretical concept and as a practical tool for helping the analyst to engage meaningfully with a range of nineteenth-century works. The work of Hepokoski and Darcy will be contextualised by considering the responses to and applications of their ideas by theorists/analysts such as Julian Horton, Paul Wingfield, Steven Vande Moortele and Seth Monahan.
Preparation
Read:
Hepokoski, James & Warren Darcy. Elements of Sonata Theory: Norms, Types and Deformations in the Late-Eighteenth-Century Sonata. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2006 Chapter 2: ‘Sonata Form as a Whole: Foundational Considerations’: 14-22
Hepokoski, James. Sibelius: Symphony no. 5. Cambridge Music Handbooks. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1993 Introduction: 1-9
Works to be explored
Wagner, Overture to Tannhäuser (1845 ‘Dresden’ version)
Schumann, Fantasy in C, Op. 17, first movement (1839)
Strauss, Don Juan (1889)
The two short assigned readings are designed to give participants the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the terminology used by Hepokoski and Darcy to analyse the so-called ‘Type 3’ sonata, and to learn about some of the major types of structural deformation. The works chosen are all substantial in length, so to get the most from these classes it would be advisable to have listened to these a number of times, and to have given consideration to how they might (and might not) fit with different aspects of sonata form.

Michael Hooper: Performance Analysis Analysing Performance
This lecture will analyse performance from several directions. Each has an extensive literature, and so the following texts are a good place to start.
Sonic Visualizer resources:
• http://www.sonicvisualiser.org • http://www.charm.rhul.ac.uk/analysing/p9_1.html • http://charm.cchcdn.net/redist/pdf/analysing_recordings.pdf
There are many studies of an empirical nature, of which the following two are a good place to start:
• Dorottya Fabian and Alistair Sung (2011), ‘Variety in Performance: A comparative Analysis of Recorded Performances of Bach’s Sixth Suite for Solo Cello from 1961 to 1998’, Empirical Musicology Review, 6/1, 20-42.
• Dorottya Fabian and Eitan Ornoy (2009) “Identity in Violin Playing on Records: Interpretation Profiles in Recordings of Solo Bach by Early Twentieth-Century Violinists,” Performance Practice Review: Vol. 14: No. 1, Article 3.
Some challenges to performance that go to the heart of some of the problems of analysing performance:
• Marc Battier (2015). ‘Describe, Transcribe, Notate: Prospects and problems facing electroacoustic music’, Organised Sound, 20, 60-67.
• Jason Stayek (2014), ‘Forum on Transcription’, Twentieth-Century Music, 11/1, March, pp. 101-161.
• Hollis Taylor (2008), “Decoding the Song of the Pied Butcherbird: An Initial Survey.” Transcultural Music Review 12, 1-30. [Taylor’s recent writings on birdsong are also worth reading, but this is a good place to start.]
The challenges of analyzing performance that we will cover can be usefully theorized through the following:
• Dora Hanninen (2012) A Theory of Music Analysis: on segmentation and associative organization (University of Rochester Press).
• Dora Hanninen (2001), ‘Orientations, Criteria, Segments: A General Theory of Segmentation for Music Analysis’, Journal of Music Theory, Vol. 45, No. 2, pp. 345-433. [This is a shorter introduction, replaced by the book, but worth reading.]
