Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Musical Form: On the Basis of Ludwig Bussler's "Musikalische Formenlehre"
In view of the fact that the means or organs by which musical tones are produced are either natural (the human voice), or artificial (musical instruments), music is either 1. Purely vocal or, 2. Purely instrumental; or, 3. Mixed - i. E., at once vocal and instrumental. To one or the other of these three grand divisions of musical forms every musical composition must be assigned. Further, each one of these form-genera, as embracing compositions having either but a single movement, or many movements, is, accordingly, either simple, or composite (cyclical).

Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Musical Form: On the Basis of Ludwig Bussler's "Musikalische Formenlehre"
Form, in art, may be comprehensively defined as the external shape and order in which artistic conceptions are presented, in other words, as the outward expression of the subject-matter or import of the art-work. Accordingly, there may be as many forms as art-works, although numbers of these individual forms may and actually do agree in certain essential features. Now, the summary of the principal features in which a number of art-works agree, is called Art-form.
The necessity of form to the special art of music is, perhaps, not so immediately obvious as in the case of the other arts; yet it is certain that without an adherence to the laws of form a coherent, intelligible musical composition is as inconceivable - as for example - a picture, a sculpture, or a building, without plan or design. A piece of music (if indeed music it should be called) without a determinate tonality or key-relationship, without harmonic, melodic, rhythmic order and symmetry - in a word, without form, - is nothing else than a tonal chaos. Hence the absolute necessity to the would-be musical composer of the study of the laws of musical form, - a necessity from which no natural gifts, not even the possession of genius, can dispense him. "Form," - says Eckermann (Beitrage zur Poesie) - "is the result of the efforts, through thousands of years, of the most excellent masters, which every one cannot too soon appropriate to himself.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes and categorizes the various musical structures used by some of history's greatest composers. The author provides a detailed breakdown of everything from the very smallest elements of these structures up to the more complex forms we see in symphonies and sonatas, organizing them into six pedagogical divisions to provide an analytical framework for understanding the creations of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. The author discusses how the composers took these structures and used them to build multi-movement works, each section of which has its own distinct formal design while contributing to the overall musical experience. The book is an invaluable reference for composers, students, and music lovers looking to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the classical canon.
