Overview

"A sonata, from the Latin and Italian sonare, means ""to sound."" The term has evolved through the history of music, and by the beginning of the Classical Era an established form had become standard. Typically, a sonata has three (or possibly four) movements. The first movement, in a quick tempo, introduces a theme which is subsequently developed. The second movement is usually slower. The third or final movement is fast. In the Classical era, it followed the rondo form. The term sonata was increasingly applied to either a work for keyboard alone, such as a piano sonata, or for a composition featuring an instrument with keyboard accompaniment. This original sonata was envisioned to help mature instrumentalists explore irregular meter, especially various applications of 7 (2+2+3 or 3+2+3 or other). The work is spirited and tonal, sure to be a popular performance selection. This publication is scored to include a solo part for all instruments.
