The introduction to this study of Beethoven's late piano sonatas, "Developing an Underlying Conception that Explains 'Fantasy Sonata' thinspace", begins with a two-fold premise concerning the term, "Fantasy Sonata." The first part of this premise is that this term itself embodies a contradiction, since "fantasy" implies the following of one's whims, while "sonata" implies a stricter type of ogranization. The second part of the premise is that, if a conception could be found that could rectify this apparent contradiction, a framework could be found within which "Fantasy Sonata", as applied to Beethoven's last sonatas, could be understood. It is suggested that the concept of personally autonomous expression, the idea of each sonata as a living being analogous to the person, conceived at once in the mind of its creator, satisfies the requirements of both sonata and fantasy, since the idea of personality involves both unity (experience within one personality) and diversity (varying perceptions by one personality). Part II of the Introduction, "Fantasy Expressions Resulting from 'Biological' and 'Psychcological' Characteristics of Personally Autonomous Expression", illustrates by numerous examples from the sonatas the musical results of personally autonomous expression. These are, the automatic tendency toward growth (as expressed by diminutions), expression as a continuum, the tendency toward arbitrary treatment of melodic segments, and the functioning of each work within the personal mindset. Part III, "Deeper Expressions of Fantasy", sets forth the idea that the deepest expressions of fantasy in these works are those related to the illusion of the expression, musically, of absolute expression, that are not limited to the time frame of reference. It is suggested that absolute expression takes the form either of identity (the illusion of autonomously-lived time), or of multiplicity (the illusion in musical terms of the possession of the absolute self). The ideas described above are applied in a measure-by-measure analysis of all movements of Op. 101, and in the detailed analysis of several excerpts from the remaining sonatas (two from Op. 106, one for Op. 109, and one from Op. 110) that illustrate the shape these ideas take beyond Op. 101.
