Bramwell Tovey edit
Where was this? And it sounds more like something that Donald Francis Tovey would write, in his series of program notes later published in several - at least five - volumes, "Essays in Musical Analysis" (and often just referred to, simply, as "Tovey" wrote this or "Tovey" wrote that for a number of years after - this was, for awhile, a rather well-known series of books in some circles; they show up not just in larger library collections but in quite a few used bookstores. Some volumes of this 1930s series of books were reprinted starting apparently - according to Worldcat... around 1978 and through the 1980s - by Oxford University Press, and I think more recently... It also could be from something else he wrote, as he seems to have been a prolific music critic as well as composer. And, of course, it might be by Bramwell Tovey...)
Did someone see "Tovey" and do an incorrect disambiguation, or was the passage quoted in fact written by Bramwell Tovey? Then where? Schissel | Sound the Note! 16:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Typical sonata? edit
So many of Beethoven's sonatas contain only 2 movements that the "typical sonata" reference, used in several Beethoven sonata articles, can at least be dropped here... Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC) (when the exception becomes your rule, reconsider your rule.)
- A quick survey shows that of 32 piano sonatas, 26 are in three or four movements and 6 in two movements, so the "typical sonata" reference is not out of place. Gyan (talk) 08:36, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Fairly answered. Though the sonata tradition before Beethoven included many more 2-movement sonatas, e.g. Still, ... hrm! :) Schissel | Sound the Note! 03:22, 24 April 2013 (UTC) (I wish those three William Newman books were still available- for more reasons than this. Good books generally anyway.)
