The problem undertaken in this paper is a study of sonata form in regard to the number, types, and key schemes of movements in the pre-Haydn sonatas and a comparison of these with the sonata form as Haydn established it. Finally, a detailed analysis of the Haydn E-Flat Major sonata is presented showing typical formal characteristics. The history of the sonata form does not begin simultaneously with the advent of the sonata itself, for the sonata as we know it today is the result of many stages of experimentation. Its growth and development were a gradual process which lasted the better part of three centuries. Many composers contributed to this growth, but the sonata form itself cannot be ascribed to any particular composer.
