A favorite form for pieces of many kinds was the sonata form, which relies heavily on the basic movement between different tonalities (especially tonic and dominant or relative major). Ludwig van Beethoven wrote over 30 sonatas for piano alone and used the structure for symphonies and many other instrumental works. Most other composers of the classical time period also used sonata form, and music historians have spent much time discussing why this might be so. Some historians pose this question strictly within a musical world: How did earlier musical structures give rise to sonata form? Others ask what it was in the surrounding historical context that made sonata form appealing.

The rhythmic pattern and minor third skip could be hummed and recognized by many. However, few people know of Beethoven’s masses, the Mass in C major Opus 86, and Mass in D, commonly known as Missa Solemnis, Opus 124. These two masses are significant because they were written in two different points in Beethoven’s life. The Mass in C was written in 1807 and was his first mass written in the traditional style (Solomon 205). The Missa Solemnis was written in 1818, and not finished until 1823 because Beethoven spent more time toying with it until he felt satisfied with it (Schauffler 381).

By doing this, Stravinsky is following the mold already set by nineteenth century composers, such as Rimsky-Korsakov. Stravinsky’s treatment of these Russian folksongs can still be considered more forward-thinking than Rimsky-Korsakov’s despite the influence that Rimsky-Korsakov had on Stravinsky. These diatonically harmonized passages are based on major scales; and thus, are tonal in nature. The aforementioned themes are used to represent the human elements of the ballet, such as the music for Ivan Tsarevich, who is the hero of the story, a... ... middle of paper ... ...
