- I was going to make a couple of videos on Beethoven's Pastoral symphony, so why not try the Sonata Form on it?
My accompanying video/audio map of that movement in action:

And the start: an intro to the Sonata form in Theory: • What is The Sonata For...
The recording comes from a live performance: Sir Adrian Boult with the BBC Symphony Orchestra recorded August 1, 1972, the Royal Albert Hall.

I love the story telling in this movement. The movement is almost entirely major apart from just two bars, which I believe represent a single cloud passing over the clear blue sky. I also love this symphony's contrast with beethoven's 5th symphony. They were written at the same time, but yet are so different to each other. Beethoven is truly a genius!
I joked that I was born with two left ears and it got laughs my whole life. But I bought a piano and started playing after my retirement (like my Mom did) and I'm making up for lost years.
I've always loved music, and yes, even classical music. And when I take walks in the woods, I listen to symphonies, and Beethoven seems to hog the playlist. This is very informative, and I love your videos telling me why I like his music so much.
Amazing, this type of videos really help to understand the sonata form, development, key changes and identifying themes. Glad that this channel is growing!
That was really helpful. Thanks
Your analysis so enhances the enjoyment of the music. In fact form is an integral part of the classical style.
With Beethoven, even the exposition is a development in itself for example, the second subject is really just the middle measure of the main subject altered. Also Beethoven plays with the leap of a third in the main subject a lot (B-D-C here: 1:51) like the violins here: 2:58
Love these videos so much! Please can you do a similar video explaining the sonata form in the first movement of Rachmaninoff’s piano concerto first movement?
And then the biggest thing is that every single note derives from that 4 bar intro. Even the second subject, even the coda. Everything.
it would be interesting to see as a comparison in a follow-up video what romantic composers did with the sonata form since they used it very loosely
