In Reply to: RE: The Deformed Sonata Form posted by Newey on October 29, 2015 at 22:49:54
I am an avid classical music lover, but know absolutely nothing about musicology and technical aspects of the musical scores. For years I have wondered what "sonata" means and have even tried to learn about sonata on the internet. This post encouraged me to, once again, try to learn about sonata.
I ran across this excellent explanation of "sonata" from Leonard Bernstein. I finally, after years, understand the basic concept of sonata. Maybe other readers could benefit from this as well. Here is the link:

I studied music at Brown University, but I never really felt like I really understood the WHYs and WHEREFOREs of sonata form until I took this online course, which is repeated with rolling start dates.
Highest recommendation.

Heard him play the Beethoven 4th piano concerto with the SF Symphony a few years back. I'd love to hear him play a sonata recital - quite a lineage - pupil of Fleisher if I am not mistaken and by all accounts the real deal.
And mine was I am sure Photoshopped.
Still, it was challenging and actually a lot of work--homework of essay-question answers graded by one's peers, pop quizzes at various points in his lectures, etc.
THE BEST online course I have ever started and just about the only one I took for a grade and finished.
Yes, he is the real deal.

OOps, sorry
