tensions rises, and some sort of crisis occurs and reaches its climax (development). Then the crisis is resolved (recapitulation). Maybe there's a twist at the end (coda). The mains “scenes” within sonata-allegro form are 1) exposition, 2) development, and 3) recapitulation.
I believe that (A) allowed for function, historical significance, and aesthetics to all be important.
Function: The statues also function as the pillars of the building to hold the building up
Historical significance: The statues look to me to be carved with the impression of a certain ruler, and have historical significance of what the ruler have done carved on the bottom part of his 'clothing'.
Aesthetics: As this is a masterpiece, and uses art to express the history, Aesthetics is also used.
hope this helps
Created using the same state-of-the-art technology that made the original Venova a hit, the Alto Venova has a larger body and uses an alto saxophone mouthpiece and reed. This gives the wind instrument a rich and mellow tone.
