Rondo form - Rondo form (English)

Japanese: ロンド形式 - ろんどけいしき(英語表記)rondo form 英語
Rondo form - Rondo form (English)

A musical term. It is a form of instrumental music established in the late 18th century, and is often used in the final movement of sonatas, symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and other instrumental pieces that have a so-called sonata multi-movement structure. The established formal norm is a central idea, a rondo theme that recurs many times (which should always appear in the tonic key), and several episodes inserted between the repetitions. The episodes generally move away from the tonic key, but eventually a formula is formed under the influence of the tonal structure of the sonata form. The most easily understood form is diagrammatically A (tonic key) - B (dominant key) - A (tonic key) - C (parallel key, subdominant key, etc.) - A (tonic key) - B' (tonic key) - A (tonic key). However, it is a misunderstanding to think of this as the basic form of rondo form, and in addition to those that show such a simple and clear form, there are extremely diverse examples that should be included in the category of this form, and many of them cannot be neatly organized.

Japanese:

音楽用語。18世紀後半に確立された器楽曲の形式で、ソナタ、交響曲、協奏曲、室内楽曲など、いわゆるソナタ多楽章構造をとる器楽曲の終楽章に用いられることが多い。整備された形式的規範としては、中心的楽想であり、何度も回帰するロンド主題(これはつねに主調で出現することを原則とする)と、それが数回繰り返される間に挿入されるいくつかのエピソードからなる。エピソードは主調から離れるのを原則とするが、やがてソナタ形式の調構造の影響を受けて定式ができあがる。もっともわかりやすい形を図式的に示すと、A(主調)―B(属調)―A(主調)―C(平行調、下属調など)―A(主調)―B′(主調)―A(主調)ということになる。しかし、これをロンド形式の基本型と考えてしまうのは誤解で、こういった単純明快な形式を示すもの以外に、この形式の範疇(はんちゅう)に組み入れるべき実例はきわめて多様であり、また整然とくぎることのできないものも多い。
