The Historical Significance of the Structural Expansion of Beethoven's Mid-Term Sonatas for the Breakthrough of Classical Paradigms
2025
Overview
This article explores the phenomenon of structural expansion in Beethoven's mid-term sonatas and its historical significance in redefining the classical paradigm. Through a detailed analysis of representative works such as the Waldstein Sonata (Op. 53), the Kreutzer Sonata (Op. 47), and the Passionate Sonata (Op. 57), research shows that Beethoven expanded the length of the exposition, increased the diversity of themes, and broke tone symmetry. These innovations reflect a profound philosophical shiftfrom Enlightenment rationalism to romantic subjectivity. The article advocates that Beethoven's formal experiment is not only a technical adjustment, but also a profound artistic response to individual and expressive changes, laying the foundation for romantic music aesthetics.
