beethoven c minor sonata
this piece is in sonata allegro form.  the exposition is from bars 1 to 47.  the group 1 melody is heard in the very beginning.  the group 2 melody is in the riht hand starting after the furmata in bar 16.  the gesture is 8th notes and it is inverted in bar 24.  group 2 is in the dominant.  there is then a subsequent transition material taking us through a variety of keys leading us back to e flat at bar 46.  The development starts at 47 and goes until bar 57...a very short development.  Only the group 1 melody is developed.  The recap starts at 57 after the furmata.  the recap is pretty much the same up till around bar 103 where there is a false ending as the group 2 melody is developed a bit.  The official coda starts in bar 114where the main melody is the primary focus though embellished a bit.  another decrescendo sounding like a false ending but ends the piece on a c major chord.
