Third Rondo-form, the student is referred to
the last movement of Beethoven's pianoforte sonata, op. 2, No. 2, the
diagram of which is as follows:--
_Middle_
_Exposition._ _Division_ _Recapitulation._

For its detailed analysis, number the measures as usual (there are 187,
the "second ending" not being counted), and define each factor of the
form by reference to the given indications,--the figures in parenthesis
again denoting the measures:--
_Principal Theme_, Part I (1-8), period-form. Part II (9-12), phrase.
Part III (13-16), phrase.
_Transition_, period-form (17-26), leading into the new key.
_First Sub. Theme_, period, Antecedent (27-32), Consequent (33-39).
_Re-transition_ (40).
_Principal Theme_, as before, (41-56). This ends the EXPOSITION.
_Second Sub. Theme_, Part I (57-66), period, literal repetition. Part
II (67-74) period-form. Part III (75-79) phrase.
Parts II and III repeated (80-92); the process of _re-transition_
begins one measure earlier (91), and is pursued to measure 99.
The RECAPITULATION begins in the next measure with the
_Principal Theme_, as before, slightly modified (100-115).
_Transition_, as before, slightly abbreviated (116-123).
_First Subordinate Theme_, as before, but transposed to the principal
key, A major, and somewhat modified (124-135).
_Principal Theme_ begins in measure 135, where the preceding theme
ends; consequently, there is an Elision. In measure 140 it is
dissolved into the
_Coda_: Section 1 (to measure 148).
Section 2 (149-160).
Section 3 (161-172).
Section 4 (173-180).
Section 5 (to end).
LESSON 15.--Analyze the following examples, as usual. They represent
chiefly the Third Rondo-form, but _one example each_ of the First and
Second Rondo-forms have been introduced, to stimulate the vigilance of
the student. Review the directions given in Lesson 13:
Beethoven, pianoforte sonatas: op. 26, last movement, (very concise,
but a perfect model of the form).
Op. 28, last movement.
Op. 7, last movement.
Op. 2, No. 3, last movement.
Op. 13, last movement.
Op. 22, last movement.
