๐Ÿ“š Many of the ideas in this video come from my favorite music book of all time:
Analyzing Classical Form by William Caplin geni.us/lxrqx

In Analyzing Classical Form by William Caplin, the author explains the Pre-core Core structure that was the basis for countless Sonata-Allegro movement development sections by composers like Mozart and Beethoven.

In this video we will break down that structure and use Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A to show how it works.

The recording of the quintet was performed by The Philadelphia String Quartet with William McColl on clarinet, found via IMSLP with a Creative Commons license.
