Can be 5 or 7 part
ABACA(BA)

Q

Exposition

A

Repeated- begins in tonic ends in secondary key
Primary theme (ends in home key)
Transition (starts in tonic ends with HC in new key. May begin like primary, but modulates)
Medial caesura
Secondary theme (ends with PAC in new key) (new material or variant)
Closing (PAC, no new material)

After closing of exposition
Ends with PAC and avoids tonic Harmonically unstable

Sonata Rondo and when it’s common
Seven part Rondo and Sonata had baby Common as fast multi movement work’s final movement AB A C AB A AB is structured like expo C is like development AB is like recap A like closing?
26
What is sonata form the outgrowth of
Continuous Rounded binary
27
What is the harmonic value of a coda
Tonic prolongstion
28
Which sections of sonata form are harmonically unstable
X-section and transitions
29
Which section have the harmonic value of major V in sonata form
Expo- 2nd tonal area and closing
30
What are the differences between ternary and rounded binary
Ternary: sections are closed off/have a clear closing Rounded binary: sections bleed into each other and share material
31
Second tonal area harmonic value
Major V in major keys And major III in minor
32
What is the harmonic value of a closing
Major V in major Major III in minor
33
What is the harmonic value of the x-section
Harmonically unstable
34
What is the harmonic value of a retransition
Dominant prolongation more often than not
35
What is the harmonic value of a recap
Major or minor tonic Includes 1TA, Altered transition, 2TA, and closing
36
What is the (almost equivalent) of a sonata recap and why not completely
Rounding in binary form. In sonata you use the entire A section. Much more hardcore
37
Types of chromatic modulation
Enharmonically reinterpreted o7, common tone modulation, pivot chord modulation, chromatic sequence
38
Compound forms
Each section has embedded binary form Compound ternary most common, but occasional rondo
39
What are the two kinds of names and variations?
Sectional and continuous
40
Sectional theme variations
Each section can be played as a it’s own thing
41
Continuous theme variations 
One piece with fixed/ostinatoelement. Often baseline and or harmonic Progressions 
42
Harmonically fixed
Under sectional? Same harmonic structure. Phrase, cadence , Modulation, function 
43
Formally fixed
Rounded binary, continuous cadence
44
Ostinato
Repeated pitch (pattern) often baseline
45
Ground base
Baseline repeats throughout
46
Chaconne
Progressions stays
47
Passacaglia
Progression, line, bass, stays
48
Hemiola
2 meters at the same time
49
Polyrhythm
Two divisions of meter rhythm at once
50
Contrapuntal
More focus on melody, then chords and harmony
51
What are the three parts to a fugue?
Expo, development, And some sort of reference to subject near the end
52
Exposition
All subjects and answers are presented. Subject, optional counter subject, answe
53
Development
Avoid tonic
54
Subject
Melodic line Carried throughout the piece - usually tonic 
55
Answer
Dominant, response
56
Counter subject
Accompaniment roll, appears consistently alongside subject 
57
What is an episode?
Only area of a fugue after expo that does not contain the subject, variety, moving one key to another.  Derives material from subject, counter, subject, answer, and other episodes . Textures thinner less voices
58
Middle entries
Mostly three part design
59
Sogetto in reference to subject
No longer than three measures, simple, square cut
60
Andamento
More flowy, often two ideas Large organ fugues
61
Bridge
Extension of subject to get back to tonic
62
Stretto figure
Subject, and answer overlap more than a couple of notes
63
Link
Short section in expo that does not have subject or answer
64
Dom pedal
Returns to tonic
65
Tonic pedal
Returns to dom
66
Real
Intervallically identical
67
Tonal answer
Answer is altered slightly. Often one note to fit with counterpoint
68
Real/authentic answer
Transposition is exact. Interval for interval….minus quality?
