Fantastic analisis! Another piece by Prokofiev that I personally love is the little piece "La pluie et l'arc-en-ciel". I think it would be nice to have it in a short video like this. Cheers!
Forms can look quite similar because they evolved from each other. Although there are similarities, this is definitely not a sonata form. The second theme is never re-stated in the "desired" key. There is no development section, there are just variations of the main themes.
No worries, it comes from experience, analysing and playing a lot of repertoire. The most common Western ones are binary, ternary, strophic, rondo (ritornello), sonata-(allegro) and theme & variations (for example Chaconne & Passacaglia). Of course there are other ways to classify forms and group them. There are also many hybrid forms for example Sonata Rondo form. Then you have free forms for such as the fantasia, impromptu & rhapsody. It's an interesting topic and a very important one, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

0:27 Prokofiev threw in The Lick before it was a thing 😆
On a serious note, thank you so much for making this!
Thank you Nick!
Ahhh I has this gavotte in my head since 3 or 4 years, that's where it's from!
Glad you found it, it's a real earworm indeed!
This is a great piece! First Prokofiev piece I learned
I love this piece so much, good choice ;)
Is is just me or does this slightly resemble Tchaikosvky's June Barcarolle?
Indeed! Similar form, similar first theme and the same keys as well :) defo agree
Me too

Thank you for the kind words! I'll have a look at that work you mentioned! Can't promise anything though!
Nice work Timon!
Thank you MM!
Could this be considered sonata form since it has an exposition, a sort of development, and then a recapitulation and coda?

@ ah ok thx, I’m still trying to learn how forms work and stuff
