Summary/Abstract: Webern’s sense of form is rooted in tradition, as is evidenced by his personal writings on the subject. However, keeping in mind that, in relation to other members of the Second Viennese School, he went the furthest in terms of the development of dodecaphony as an atonality system with the use of pointillism, distinct symmetrical relations at different structural levels, and indications of serialism, we expect a completely new and revised view on the traditional form. The sonata form is the most adapted to varying deviations and fusions with other formal patterns, so its examples will serve as representatives of how the form primarily developed within Anton Webern’s dodecaphonic conditions.
