Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines Franz Schubert’s sonata-form transitions within the context of Romanticism’s stylized fantasy aesthetic. The analysis draws from the G Major Quartet (D. 887), E♭ Major Trio (D. 929), and C Major Quintet (D. 956). I argue that Schubert’s unique blending of two distinct tonal syntaxes in this music creates a moment of the fantastic, evoking a sense of “magic” where reality and dreams intertwine. This interpretation challenges the familiar readings of “dream” and “otherworldly” in current hermeneutic approaches to Schubert’s sonata forms, and offers novel perspectives in the broader discourse of “rationality” in Schubert’s music.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Musicological Research publishes original articles on all aspects of the discipline of music: historical musicology, style and repertory studies, music theory, ethnomusicology, music education, organology, and interdisciplinary studies. Because contemporary music scholarship addresses critical and analytical issues from a multiplicity of viewpoints, the Journal of Musicological Research seeks to present studies from all perspectives, using the full spectrum of methodologies. This variety makes the Journal a place where scholarly approaches can coexist, in all their harmony and occasional discord, and one that is not allied with any particular school or viewpoint.
