/2-20). This ends the Exposition. _Interlude_, the remaining beats of measure 20; it is, of course, a brief re-transition, and is therefore strongly suggestive of the First Rondo-form, the _details of which exactly coincide, thus far, with the above factors of the sonatine-form_. Such coincidences merely confirm the unbroken line of evolution, and are to be expected in the system of legitimate, rational music designs. The RECAPITULATION (the original _da capo_) follows, beginning with the _Principal Theme_, B-flat major, as before (21-28) but somewhat embellished. Again, there is no Transition. (Here the similarity to the First Rondo ends.) _Subordinate Theme_, corresponds very closely to the former version, but transposed to B-flat major, the principal key, and variated (29-39). _Codetta_, also in B-flat major (39 1/2-40), slightly extended. There is no coda. LESSON 16.--Analyze the following examples of the sonatine-form, in the usual exhaustive manner:-- Beethoven, pianoforte sonatas; op. 10, No. 1, _Adagio_. Op. 31, No. 2, _Adagio_. Mendelssohn, _Andante cantabile_ in B-flat major (pianoforte). Mozart, pianoforte sonata. No. 17, _Andante amoroso_ (somewhat longer interlude). Mendelssohn, _Presto agitato_ in B minor for pianoforte (preceded by an "Andante cantabile" which has no connection with the sonatine-form of the _presto_, but may also be analyzed). This design is very broad; each factor is expanded to its fullest legitimate extent, especially the "codetta" section. {124} CHAPTER XVII. THE SONATA-ALLEGRO FORM. ORIGIN OF THE NAME.--The fully developed Sonata-allegro form is the design in which the classic overture and the first movement of the symphony, sonata and concerto are usually framed. The student must be careful not to confound this musical form with the _complete_ sonata of three or four movements. It is not to be called the "sonata form," but the "sonata-allegro form." It is to one movement only, generally the first one, which is (or was) very commonly an _allegro_ tempo in the sonata and symphony, that the present design refers; and its name, sonata-allegro, is derived from that old historic species of the sonata which consisted originally of but one movement, generally an _allegro_. THE SONATA-ALLEGRO FORM.--As distinguished from the sonatine-form, with its two Divisions, this larger species, based upon precisely the same structural idea, has _th
