What is the Example of allegro music?

Answer 1

"Sonata allegro" form would be more properly called sonata form, since a sonata form movement need not be allegro (fairly fast); it could be slower, such as Andante ("walking pace"). However, one of the most famous examples is the first movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony in C minor. The form is in three main parts: exposition, development and recapitulation (or reprise). The exposition has a first subject and one or more second subjects; the first subject in the fifth symphony is in C minor, the second subject in the relative major key, E flat major. The second subject us usually more melodic than the first. The development section is essentially variations of the first, and sometimes the second, subject, and modulating (changing) into various keys but always returning to the main key of the movement (the tonic). The recapitulation is a more-or-less repeat of the exposition but with diffrences; the second subject is not in the relative major (or minor as the case may be) of the first subject, but in the major (or minor) mode of the tonic. For example, in the Beethoven fifth, the second subject of the exposition is in E flat (relative major of C minor), but in the recapitulation it is in C major (the major mode of the tonic C minor). A movement almost always ends with a coda (literally "tail", as in "tail end") and always ends in the main key.

Answer 2

If you mean, what are the three main sections of the form known as 'sonata form' (which may or may not be marked to be played 'allegro'), the answer is as follows:

1) Exposition. This lays out the main themes of the movement, in two subject groups. The first group is in the tonic key and the second is in a related key, usually the dominant in the case of major-key movements.

2) Development. Some or all of the material of the exposition is developed in many imaginative ways, usually involving several changes of key.

3) Recapitulation. The material of the exposition returns, with the crucial difference that the second-group themes, as well as those of the first group, are now in the tonic key.

NOTES: Sonata form is essentially a dramatic form, deriving its impact from the struggle between two different keys. The struggle is always resolved in favour of the tonic, so the outcome is never in doubt, but the interest lies in hearing how the composer has created and managed the struggle. The recapitulation is by no means a repetition of the exposition: as well as presenting the second subject group in the tonic key, it may also present other material from the exposition transformed by the experience of the development. This other material is optional, though; the essential thing is that the second subject group is restated in the tonic key.

Answer 3

If you mean "what music is in sonata allegro form today" then I'm sorry to let you know that a sonata is not a form it's a style. Allegro is a word used to describe how music is played, meaning 'lively' or 'fast'. A sonata is a style of music that is played on an instrument rather than sung by a person. So, to sum up, if you can think of a piece of music that has no singing and is played in a lively fashion then technically that is an allegro sonata.

Another answer:

'Sonata allegro form' is a term that is sometimes used as an alternative to the simpler 'sonata form', as movements written in that form - generally, the first and sometimes the last movement of a classical or romantic symphony, sonata, quartet etc - are likely to be marked 'allegro'.

Some music, of the genres I mentioned above, is still being composed in the traditional forms, though it is uncommon these days. Are you asking for a specific example of such a work?

Answer 4

The Sonata-Allegro form has three parts. First - the Exposition where the composer presents (usually) two musical ideas. Second - the Development which give the composer a chance to move through some different key tonalities and create variation of the themes (or fragments) presented in the Exposition. The Recapitulation is the third section, the composers settles back to the home key and re-presents the original themes.

Answer 5

Sonata-allegro form has three main sections, the Exposition, the Development, and the Recapitulation. Even though the form is composed of three sections, it is considered a two-part form because it is based on two major modulations in tonality.
