There has indeed. It's part of the very fabric of life here (drama, that is). In a way, we adhere to sonata-allegro form in the sense that our dialog unfolds in time as discourse -- one that posits two (or more) often opposing speakers who variegate their expressions by commenting on the opposing speaker's views in terms that approximate literary ideas: exposition, rising action (development), climax, & coda (denoument).
Our best discussions here on the Ledge take sonata-allegro form to a Beethovenian extreme: The dialog begins in darkness, in torment, in self-doubt, & through sheer perseverance in developing all motivic expressions, at long last is bathed in the joyous light of reason & justice.
