Examples of exposition universelle in the following topics:

  • Modern Sculpture

    • The Rodin exhibit at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle (world's fair) is widely believed to be the precise beginning of the modern sculptural movement.

  • Art Nouveau

    • The fame of his gallery was increased at the 1900 Exposition Universelle, where he presented coordinated—- in design and color—- installations of modern furniture, tapestries and objets d'art.

  • Basics

    • There are two main types of sonata expositions: the two-part exposition and the continuous exposition.
    • A two-part exposition typically exhibits the following thematic cycle (in order):
    • We will just call it an exposition with two MCs.
    • "Real" secondary theme (S), ending with the essential expositional closure (EEC)
    • Unlike a two-part exposition, a continuous exposition has no MC followed by a secondary (S) theme.

  • Derivation

    • The recapitulation is the goal of the sonata, coming after the exposition and the development (anything that precedes the exposition is introduction and anything that follows the recapitulation is coda).
    • It answers the expectations set forth by the exposition, and it brings the essential sonata closure.
    • The recapitulation typically follows the same pattern of modules set forth in the exposition: { P TR ' S / C } for a two-part exposition, { P TR ⇒ FS / C } for a continuous exposition (the apostrophe stands for the MC, the slash stands for the EEC/ESC).
    • In most sonatas, as the thematic cycle of the exposition is repeated in the recapitulation, some music from the exposition is recomposed in the recapitulation, often to "undo" the modulation that happened on the way to a V:HC MC.
    • One trick to look out for in Haydn (and to a lesser extent in Beethoven, and rarely in Mozart) is a change in exposition type: a two-part exposition becoming a continuous recapitulation, or a two-part exposition with two MCs (trimodular block) becoming a standard two-part exposition.

  • The White City, Chicago, and the World Columbian Exposition

    • The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago was an international fair whose grandeur symbolized emerging American exceptionalism.
    • Daniel Burnham and Frederick Law Olmsted designed the exposition as a prototype of their vision of an ideal city.
    • The World's Columbian Exposition was the first world's fair with an area for amusements that was strictly separated from the exhibition halls.
    • The white buildings constructed for the exposition, in comparison to the Chicago tenements, appeared to gleam.

  • Transpositional Symmetry

    • The A section (or module) exhibits what we call exposition function, and the A' section exhibits recapitulation function.
    • move to and establish a secondary key by means of a strong cadence (PAC), called the essential expositional closure (EEC); and
    • This PAC is called the essential expositional closure, or EEC.
    • Commonly, the exposition and recapitulation each have an additional cadential goal that is not shared with other small-ternary-like forms.
    • Often the exposition–development–recapitulation structure is framed by an introduction and/or a coda.

  • Intervallic Structure

    • Following are definitions for important modules and cadences found in sonata-form expositions.
    • Any two-part exposition that declines a medial caesura must contain a "real" MC later.
    • If it does not, it is a continuous, rather than a two-part, exposition.
    • The ESC is the cadence in the recapitulation that corresponds to the EEC in the exposition.
    • It is post-cadential, and the harmonic goal of the exposition has already been reached.

  • Modulation

    • Examples of phrase modulations abound at the point between the end of the exposition in a minuet or a sonata and the beginning of the repeat of the exposition (if an exposition repeat is present).

  • Internal Expansions

    • Examples of phrase modulations abound at the point between the end of the exposition in a minuet or a sonata and the beginning of the repeat of the exposition (if an exposition repeat is present).
