“Emerson” The Music
View through CrossRef
The form of the Emerson has often been dismissed as too complex to characterize, yet it can easily be understood as an unconventional sonata-allegro form on seven themes, interrupted by eight developmental episodes. As the piece originated in an “Emerson Concerto,” the Beethoven’s Fifth motive (G-G-G-Eb) and “Emerson” theme act as ritornellos, framing devices for the originally conceived piano solos. The fact that opening material is recapitulated a helf-step higher leaves the movement open-ended, as a question the other movements will attempt to answer.
