🎓 Composing in Sonata Form Course
Start writing extended pieces, develop material and learn how to compose music using Sonata Form. Sonata Form serves as the catalyst for honing your composition skills and nurturing your growth as a proficient music creator. This course begins with an explanation of Sonata Form - what it is and how it evolved during the Classical Period. We then analyse Sonata Form movements written by Mozart and Beethoven to discover how Classical Period composers wrote in this structure and in order to see how Sonata Form was to develop during the Romantic Period. The course also explains the possible variants within Sonata Form that composers might choose to explore. There follow two composition projects. In the first, we write the essentials of a Sonata Form movement in the Classical Period style, considering how to compose first and second subjects, how to develop and recapitulate material, when to include an introduction, a Coda and transition material. In the second, we write a more extended Sonata Form movement in a more contemporary style, learning to deal with the challenges of working with Sonata Form in an atonal environment.

You are just pure gold Mr. Green.
@carlmagnussen7773 You’re too kind
I take the time to read the comments on your videos. It doesn't surprise me at all that many heavy metal musicians learn "boring music" since it makes musical sense.
Merci beaucoup for your simply amazing presentations.
That’s most kind of you.
Great tutorial. Elegant example. Thank you, Gareth!
A pleasure.
very helpful ! waiting for next part
If you go to www.mmcourses.co.uk you can download the rest of the course.
Thank you, Gareth. In your final play of the completed piece, the left hand is inaudible! This rather spoils the effect. You have explained quite a bit about the Mozart piano sonata that I am currently learning. I will have to go and look at it critically, now 🙂. Thank you.
Glad that’s helpful. Strange about the inaudibility. I’ve just checked it and it seems okay but sometimes strange things occur on different equipment. Enjoy.
Awesome! I am looking forward to the course when I have the money :)
Enjoy!
That was quite helpful. Thank you.
Glad it’s useful. Much more in the new Sonata Form course.
Excellent 🙏🏾.

This is great timing as I'm currently attempting the first movement of a symphony in sonata form, really useful content and the rest of the course looks promising so far!
Excellent. Enjoy!
This is very helpful !
Thanks !

Hi Gareth,
Do you use digital paper and pen in these presentations? If so, do you mind telling me what app you use? I’ve searched everywhere for an elegant solution for writing directly to paper without the playback and other features of most notational software.
We use Goodnotes on an iPad and Staffpad.
Thanks for sharing!
A pleasure. The rest is at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thank you very much

So much to learn. Thank you.
A pleasure. The rest of the course is at www.mmcourses.co.uk
I was waiting for the fast running away in mozartesque fashion
That all comes later in the course. 😀
Thanks 🖖🏼

Thanks you very much. Question: Is this related to the course on mmusic (sonata form course?). Maybe you can talk a bit about that, in the next video? I tend to modulate and develop too much in the first subject, and that messes things up for me, heh. Better keep it simple, as you have done perhaps. :)
Yes. This is a sample video from the course. Good observation about the first subject
Thank you very much
