Analysis Of Classical Music On The Internet

Featured Replies

Does anyone know where I could find in depth analysis of classical works on the internet? All I can find is popular or historical perspectives, almost nothing that goes into theory or structure. Are there any public directories of this type of content?

This might be on the very far end of what you might be looking for but they have very very thorough papers on pieces, or concepts of pieces here.

You might have to do a lot of digging to find just an analysis because this is a Music Theory Peer-Review online Journal and simple analysis are a little lacking for this site. 

See if you can find some of Leonard Bernstein's "Young People's Concert" series lectures. Some material may be what you already know, but nearly everything Bernstein says is enlightening. And he never talks down to his young audience. If a detail is important, no matter how advanced, he covers it.

This seems like a good resource, thanks.

 

 

 

I found this book https://archive.org/details/analysisofformas00harduoft it details the form of each of Beethovens piano sonatas, if anyone else is interested.
