Tonality and tonal relationships are basic to sonata form, and in this sonatina, the tonal relationships within the movements are all based on seconds, while the second movement is in the relative major of the sonatina's home key. The first movement, Allegro appassionato, is a fairly strict sonata-allegro in F minor. The second movement, Adagio cantabile, is a theme and variations in Ab major. The finale, Allegretto giocoso, is an abridged sonata-rondo in F minor. The B episode is derived from the inverted second subject of the first movement.Although not obvious on casual listening, this provides a degree of thematic unity to the composition.Grade 4+ Duration:7:40
