This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... THE SONATA BEFORE BEETHOVEN. sJPHE earliest beginnings of the Sonata are found TM-towards the close of the seventeenth century. The first Sonatas appeared in 1681, for violin solo, by Henry Biber; then, in 1683, there appeared twelve Sonatas for violin, violoncello, and piano, by the violinist, Corelli. But more important as a composer of pianoforte Sonatas was Johann Kuhnau, Sebastian Bach's predecessor. He first wrote a Sonata in " B" in "Neuer Clavieriibung anderer Theil." Generally speaking, the form is the present one, the Sonata consisting of a quick, a slow, and then a quick movement. The style of writing is polyphonic, but the work fails in inward aesthetic connection. Kuhnau's next work appeared, in 1696, under the title of "Fresh Fruit for the Piano; or, Seven Sonatas for the Pianoforte, excellent in design and style, by Johann Kuhnau." These Sonatas show progress in form and in matter; they are full of B energy, vivacity, fresh grace, and also of deep feeling. They consist entirely of four or five movements, and the contrast of the quiet and agitated movement is found in many cases. The polyphonic treatment is predominant, though the homophonic sometimes breaks through, launching forth into free melodies. Single movements show yet greater artistic merit. Kuhnau is intellectually associated with Handel, by free polyphony and an energetic or clear treatment of melody. An inward sesthetic connection is already discernible in single movements. The next composer to be mentioned in this department is Mattheson. A Sonata appeared by him, in 1713, "dedicated to whoever will play it best." It consists of one movement only; the treatment generally is richer than with former composers, nor is the theme without merit; but the working of...

Beethoven's Pianoforte Sonatas by Ernst von Elterlein Pdf

Excerpt from Beethoven's Pianoforte Sonatas: Explained for the Lovers of the Musical Art To describe the contents of a musical work is always a difficult task; and it cannot be denied that a great deal of nonsense has been written, in the endeavour to analyze, describe, and annotate the works of great musical composers. No author has had to suffer more from the indiscreet zeal of busy shallow annotators than Ludwig van Beethoven no other composer's works have been so unwarrantably and unnecessarily overladen with weak description. The small work, Beethoven's clavier-sonatm fiir ezmde' der Tonkzmst erleiutert z'on Ems! Van Elm lein, stands forth as an honourable exception amidst the host of insipid commentaries on the great master's works - the multitudinous explanations that explain nothing. Elterlein's book appeared in Leipsic, in I856. It has, since that'year, gone through many editions, and has obtained great and deserved popularity in Germany. Although Herr von Elterlein is a musical amateur, he writes with the ripe knowledge and thorough understanding of a practical musician; and as the merits of his book speak for themselves, any further praise would be super uous.
