What is a sonata? Literally translated, it simply means
'instrumental piece'. It is the epitome of instrumental music, and
is certainly the oldest and most enduring form of 'pure' and
independent instrumental composition, beginning around 1600 and
lasting to the present day. Schmidt-Beste analyses key aspects of
the genre including form, scoring and its social context - who
composed, played and listened to sonatas? In giving a comprehensive
overview of all forms of music which were called 'sonatas' at some
point in musical history, this book is more about change than about
consistency - an ensemble sonata by Gabrieli appears to share
little with a Beethoven sonata, or a trio sonata by Corelli with
one of Boulez's piano sonatas, apart from the generic designation.
However, common features do emerge, and the look across the
centuries - never before addressed in a single-volume survey -
opens up new and significant perspectives.
