I. ORDER OF THE PAPER
	A. Introductory section.
		1. Information concerning the chosen work and its composer.
		2. Indicate how the analysis is to be conducted.
		3. Indicate what the form and order of the presentation of material is to be within the paper.
	B. Body of the paper.
		1. Report of findings which must include: all important themes, a brief outline of the form of each movement (to be included in the paper as a table), and a discussion of the formal aspects of each movement.
		2. The discussion should not dwell on the material contained in the table, rather it should be an extension of that material, seeking to highlight important relationships, interesting harmonic, rhythmic, and/or melodic items, and unusual aspects of formal organization.
	C. Summary.
		1. Summarize briefly what you have learned about the composer's use of form in this composition.
		2. If you wish, you may bring into this summary similar or contrasting observations from known authorities.
II. MECHANICS
	A. Language.
		1. You will be graded on your use of the English language (as you always are in life), particularly with regard to grammar, syntax, and spelling.
			a. In this day of Word Processors, Spell Check, and Grammar Checks, mistakes in these areas are completely unacceptable. This is true even if you are not planning to go on to graduate school.
	B. Style.
		2. The style of the paper, footnotes, bibliography, etc., should conform to that presented in A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate Turabian. Regardless of what other style sheet you may have used while here at B-W, the Chicago Manual of Style (as condensed in Turabian) is still the expected style at music graduate schools in the United States.
III. Models
	I have placed on reserve in Jones Music Library some former papers that can serve as models.
IV. Scores
	Unless I indicate otherwise, please assume that a score MUST accompany your paper. If you must use a library score please tell me so that you will not be charged for an overdue score.
