ca. 200 p. nur 663 English Two-Dimensional Sonata Form is the first book dedicated to the combination of the movements of a multimovement sonata cycle with an overarching single-movement form that is itself organized as a sonata form. Drawing on a variety of historical and recent approaches to musical form (e.g., Marxian and Schoenbergian Formenlehre, Caplin’s theory of formal functions, and Hepokoski and Darcy’s Sonata Theory), it begins by developing an original theoretical framework for the analysis of this type of form that is so characteristic of the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. It then offers an in-depth examination of nine exemplary works by four Central European composers: the Piano Sonata in B minor and the symphonic poems Tasso and Die Ideale by Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss’s tone poems Don Juan and Ein Heldenleben, the symphonic poem Pelleas und Melisande, the First String Quartet and the First Chamber Symphony by Arnold Schoenberg, and Alexander Zemlinsky’s Second String Quartet.

steven vande moortele is a postdoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders at the Department of Musicology of the University of Leuven.

A Dark Trace

Sigmund Freud on the Sense of Guilt Herman Westerink

Sigmund Freud, in his search for the origins of the sense of guilt in individual life and culture, regularly speaks of ‘reading a dark trace,’ thus referring to the Oedipus myth as a myth about the problem of human guilt. In Freud’s view, this sense of guilt is a trace, a path, that leads deep into the individual’s mental state, into childhood memories, and into the prehistory of culture and religion. Herman Westerink follows this trace and analyzes Freud’s thought on the sense of guilt as a central issue in his work, from the earliest studies on the moral and ‘guilty’ characters of the hysterics, via later complex differentiations within the concept of the sense of guilt, and finally to Freud’s conception of civilization’s discontents and Jewish sense of guilt. The sense of guilt is a key issue in Freudian psychoanalysis, not only in relation to other key concepts in psychoanalytic theory but also in relation to Freud’s debates with other psychoanalysts, including Carl Gustav Jung and Melanie Klein.

herman westerink is University Assistant in the Department of Practical Theology and Psychology of Religion, Protestant Theological Faculty, Vienna, Austria. He is the author most recently of Controversy and Challenge: The Reception of Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis in German and Dutch-speaking Theology and Religious Studies.
