Abstract
-
The expositions of Haydn's Symphonies nos. 73 and 82--92 as well as the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata in B♭, K. 333, are analyzed based both upon the voice-leading principles of Heinrich Schenker and upon a new theory of chromaticism disseminated by Henry Burnett. In Burnett's theory, the chromatic aggregate is presented as linear arrays and eleven-note areas. Although the two theories can be viewed as widely divergent in many areas, there are significant components of Burnett's theory that strongly support some of the most basic precepts of Schenkerian methodology and theory. An important conclusion resulting from the application of the above theories is that Haydn's unique approach to sonata form often contains the greatest portion of his expositions within a prolongation of tonic harmony. In addition, the prolongation of the tonic is accomplished through sophisticated voice-leading and chromatic means.
