| | Sonata (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the classical period and afterwards, sonatas for piano solo were the most common genre of sonata, with sonatas for violin and piano and cello and piano being next. | | | The "sonata idea", as well as the term "sonata" continued to be central to musical analysis, and a strong influence on composers, both in large scale works and in chamber music. | | | The sonata da chiesa, generally for one or more violins and bass, consisted normally of a slow introduction, a loosely fugued allegro, a cantabile slow movement and a lively finale in some such binary form as suggests affinity with the dance-tunes of the suite. |

| | Musical Forms - Sonata |
| | After 1700 the 'solo' sonata, for one melody instrument and bass, became more popular; violin, flute, oboe and cello were the most favoured instruments. | | | More exceptional were sonatas for unaccompanied solo instruments, such as Biber's and Bach's for violin, Handel's for harpsichord and Bach's for organ. | | | The break with tradition is evident both in those sonatas by Bartók, Stravinsky, Poulenc and Hindemith which look back to a much earlier age and in the piano sonalas of Barraqué and Boulez, which have no links of form or genre with any previous Sonatas. |

| | Beethoven Piano Sonatas |
| | Beethoven's piano sonatas between 1802 and 1814 show the rise of the Romanticism and his heroic inspirations in Music. | | | His piano sonatas show the changes of musical style in form, structure, and his life between 1792 and 1822. | | | These sonatas show a different musical world from the previous sonatas. |

| | Biber Mystery Sonatas |
| | In the manuscript the 15 Mystery Sonatas are followed by a Passacaglia in G minor for unaccompanied violin. | | | Charles Burney wrote in 1789 that ‘of all the violin players of the last century Biber seems to have been the best, and his solos are the most difficult and fanciful of any music I have seen of the same period’. | | | Appropriately, the sonatas representing the rest of the Joyful Mysteries mostly use tunings in sharps that give the violin a bright, open sonority. |

| | Ludwig Van Beethoven: Piano Sonatas |
| | To pianists, the 32 piano sonatas of Beethoven are a central core of the repertoire and are often referred to as the New Testament of keyboard music - the Old Testament being the 48 preludes and Fugues of Bach's 'Well Tempered Clavier'. | | | Beethoven was well aware of the difficulties this sonata posed for the pianist and listeners and even went as far as to suggest to Ries that the 4th movement could be left out altogether in order to make the work more accessible for a London audience. | | | The adagio, one of the profoundest and longest single movements in all piano music is followed by a crowning fugal finale to challenge the technique of even the greatest virtuoso. |

| | Classical Notes - Classical Classics - Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, By Peter Gutmann |
| | Excerpts from the Sonatas and Partitas continued throughout the acoustical era with the next generation of violinists. | | | The partitas are suites of dances, although the second breaks away to conclude with arguably the greatest piece of music ever conceived for solo strings – a 15 minute chaconne in which a single idea resonates through 31 variations that embrace a universe of artistry and expression. | | | And of all the great works written for strings, perhaps Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin are the most wondrous – and rather mysterious as well. |

| | The Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti |
| | I have included silences at the end of each sonata such that, if the sonatas are played in numeric order, this pairwise arrangement on which Scarlatti obviously placed considerable importance will be heard. | | | 545 of the sonatas were transcribed for piano by Alessandro Longo in 1906, and are still available from Ricordi (Italy) and Kalmus (USA). | | | (They include some works for violin and continuo, which I have not recorded.) Then, with number 148, we begin the Sonatas proper, the pieces that were presented to the Queen as they were composed, between 1752 and 1757. |

| | Ysaÿe's Sonatas are certainly not as approachable as Bach's and can be as hard for the listener as well as to the performer. | | | It is quite a shame, for these Sonatas present an ultimate challenge to the performer, formidable in the score and also challenging to the artistry of the musician. | | | A bad performance of these Sonatas can sound very unpleasant or vulgar, with all the trademark piercing notes and crashing chords of the modern violin music stereotype. |

| | Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music Vol. 5 No. 1 Review |
| | Lindgren acknowledges two possibilities in addition to the violoncello: one is a five-stringed variant of the cello, tuned C, G, d, a, e'; the other is the tenor violin, an instrument with dimensions somewhere between those of the viola and violoncello and tuned an octave below the violin (G, d, a, e'). | | | (note 3) Otherwise, cello pieces appeared in print one or two at a time as additions to collections of violin sonatas, violin and cello duets, or trio sonatas. | | | His violin solos in manuscript, by contrast, exceed first position by up to an octave and contain pseudo-fugal expositions, which are effected by intricate double stopping. |

| | Finally, John Atkinson and I are appreciative that you understood that this is the sound of a Boesendorfer, (not a resonant Steinway), recorded in a large room cum recital hall (not a church or auditorium), and that you noted the astonishing accuracy of the recording's sonic qualities in your very well-written review. | | | In fact, the Canadian pianist has given recitals of the complete sonatas in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Seattle, and did so before committing the music to disc. | | | From the reviews quoted in his press package, the qualities of the concerts reflect much of the magnificent music making found on the new CDs. |
