New publication: Part 4 of the Mozart Form Functions Series

I have just published a new essay on Texas Scholar Works: Formal Functions in Menuets by Mozart, Part 4: Older Contemporaries to1770Link.

Here is the abstract:
This essay charts formal functions (after Caplin) in named menuets written during the second half of the eighteenth century. The repertoire includes menuets by Johann Stamitz, Johann Gottfried Müthel, Franz Joseph Haydn, Luigi Boccherini, Maddalena Laura Sirmen, and several other composers, as well as menuets in collections or compilations intended for performance, dancing, or pedagogy.
