I simply misread and misread again.
To Anchita and Jackie:
Mea culpa.
To AnnaS: Were you possibly thinking of grinds in the last 24 hours and I somehow picked up psychic sympathetic vibrations?

I remember sitting in a bar, listening to this song on the juke box, noticing the A theme, the variation on the A theme, the B theme, the recapitulation of the A theme, etc., etc., and saying to myself, "This is a sonata." I have been unable to rediscover what I meant by sonata in this context. Perhaps someone more musically literate than I could fill in my blanks.

Here's a primer in very basic sonata form:
Exposition: That's where you hear the main theme, which can actually be highly complex as in Beethoven's sonatas. In other words, the main theme may have sub themes.
Development: This is the section where the main theme can be modified, explored, go off into the stratosphere, become almost unrecognizable and new offshoots become developed.
Recapitulation: You're back home again. The primary theme is fully recognizable. Composers may modify the presentation as compared with the theme's appearance in the exposition, but your ear will tell you you're back home again.

This is for Rav: I am sitting here at work, reading posts on AWADtalk. I am NOT doing any actualŽ work. Therefore, I am "goofing off". So I am a "goof-off". This happens more than it should, but AWADtalk is addictive. I need a 12-step program or sumpin'...
