Hello,
This is my first post and I'm grateful to have found this site.
Right now I'm intimidated by the Sonata form. I'd really like to learn how to write Sonatas -- but the books I've looked at in the stores are dense philosophical tomes of 900 pages about the Sonata Form...
I can't seem to find a book of the exceptional sort which steps away from Academia and makes learning the Sonata form fun with lots of cool diagrams and a writers knack for simplicity and clarity. I want something really hands on and engaging.
I've never understood song structure and form... I want a great teacher.
Does anyone know if such a thing exists?
