A History of the Sonata Idea: Volume 3: The Sonata Since Beethoven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807838778)

This volume completes Newman's monumental study of the sonata. It examines the evolution of the sonata idea from the prexcocious Romanticisms of Dussek before 1880 to the near exhaustion of Romantic music by the time of World War I. Thoroughly documented, illustrated by new extended lists of sonatas as well as the fullest bibliography of Romantic music literature yet published, the book is invaluable to musicians.

Originally published in 1969.
