The palindrome of the title of this first entry is the inspiration for the name of this blog.
The reference is "I Love Me, Vol. I - S. Wordrow's Palindrome Encyclopedia" as revealed and interpreted by Michael Donner. Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill 1996. There is a questionable attribution to a Raymond Stuart, and it's described as a heavy metal title.
So be it. I just like it.
Sonatas seem to oscillate a lot throughout musical history, and it is fascinating to explore the almost infinite range of expression achieved by those who used some version of sonata form as their structural basis.
