The text presents the author’s principles of basic formal analysis, relating to the characteristics of the rondo form. These are technical guidelines for analytical practice intended for beginners in conventional analysis. As an illustrative example of these guidelines, a form has been chosen that is atypical for a rondo form, being non-dance-like and slow-paced, and in a piano texture: the second movement of L. van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No 8 in C minor ‘Pathétique’.
