Abstract

This paper is a research and analysis on <Sonata for Piano and Violin in A Major Op.100> by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), a Neoclassical composer of the 19th century, who expressed musical characteristics of Romanticism within the Classical structure. The French Revolution in late 18th century influenced social changes of 19th century, creating mass society and mass production due to machines, allowing the improvement and development of instruments. In addition, songs of various genres were written enabling the general public the opportunity to access music. Within these social changes, 19th century Romantic music divided and developed into program music and absolute music while absolute music was expressed as Neo-Classic. Though Brahms pursued the Classicism in terms of the structural parts, he clearly showed characteristics from the Romanticsm by using the motive, hemiola, cross rhythm, arpeggio, folk melody and enharmonic modulation in his music. Brahms’ <Sonata for Piano and Violin in A Major Op.100> written in 1886, is consisted of three movements and is regarded as the most melodious work of his violin sonatas. Furthermore, motives quoted from Brahms’ own songs or other composer’s works can be seen as a musical trait The first movement shows the development of the motive, quotation of the song, enharmonic modulation, and chromatic third relations and etc. The second movement is a three part format with slow and fast parts contrasting with each other and the tone relation presented in the first movement also appears in the second movement. The third movement is a rondo form in which the repeated part A is not played in the original tonality in A’ but played in a subdominant key with quotations of songs, 2:3 complex rhythms, arpeggio and etc. Like this, <Sonata for Piano and Violin in A Major Op.100> is the piece which Brahms’s compositional techniques such as the development of motive and song quotations are cleary presented in both the violin and piano. The music used in the thesis is <Brahms, Johannes, Sonaten f?r Klavier und Violine, Greman: G,Henle Verlag>.
