| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 音樂研究所 === 103 === While talking about classical music genre, sonata has been the representative of the 18th century for the greatest works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. However, since it is no longer the most prevailing music genre in the 19th and 20th centuries, why Stravinsky still uses the genre of sonata as his main composing element? According to the marks from Stravinsky’s drafts and the statement from his assistant, the fingerings on the music book are not merely prompts for pianist to follow, but what are his intentions beyond this?
Furthermore, the social environment and atmosphere while composing the sonata is the postwar period of Franco-Prussian War and World War I. Therefore, the discussion is about whether the composing style gradually changed, from the extreme individualism and romanticism back to the classic collectivism behavioral model due to the experience of the two major wars.
