This dissertation is the development of a hybrid analytical procedure and its application to the three extant sonatas of Six Sonates pour le violon by Joseph Boulogne "Le Chevalier" Saint-Georges. The procedure is based on the combining of theorist Heinrich Schenker's notion of "levels," and musicologist Leonard Ratner's notion of "topics" as proposed in their respective works Der freie Satz (1979, translated and edited by Eric Oster) and Classic Music: Expression, Form and Style (1980). The concept is based upon a general idea proposed by theorist V. Kofi Agawu in his article entitled "The First Movement of Beethoven's Opus 132 and the Classical Style," published in the Symposium 27 (1987): 30-45. / The hybrid analytical procedure proposed in this dissertation is offered as an alternative analytical perspective for classic music. Included in the work is a brief overview of the Schenkerian notion of levels, the notion of topics, and a description of their adjoinment to form a single interactive hybrid analytical system. Demonstration analyses which illustrate the application of the procedure are also included. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 53-04, Section: A, page: 0984. / Major Professor: Robert L.
