Een van de door William Caplin onderscheiden Conventional Theme Types. Afkomstig van de Duitse term “Satz”.
Definition from Caplin ACF:
“The simple sentence, an 8-m. structure, begins with a 2-m. basic idea that pro- longs tonic harmony. The basic idea is then immediately repeated, either with the same harmonization or with a version of the idea that begins with dominant harmony. The basic idea and its repetition combine together to make a 4-m. presentation phrase, which continues to prolong the tonic.
The open-ended quality of the presentation sets up strong expectations for a 4-m. continuation phrase, which can typically feature a shorter unit (in m. 5) that is immediately repeated (in m. 6) along with an acceleration of the harmonic rhythm. The phrase ends with a cadential idea in mm. 7 and 8, which brings closure to the entire sentence.
From a more “top-down” perspective, we can say that the sentence is an 8-m. theme built out of two phrases: a 4-m. presentation phrase, followed by a 4-m. continuation phrase. The presentation phrase itself is built out of two ideas: a 2-m. basic idea and its repetition, with the continuation phrase consist- ing of shorter fragments and a concluding 2-m. cadential idea.”
