Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes you on an illuminating journey through the evolution of music, focusing on the "Age of the Sonata" ââ â a period marked by profound shifts in musical style and form. The author delves into the contrasting approaches of iconic composers like Bach and Mozart, highlighting the transition from the structured polyphony of the Baroque era to the expressive and emotionally charged music of the Classical period. The narrative goes beyond biographical details, offering insightful analyses of musical instruments and their impact on composition. Explore the rise of the violin, the transformation of the piano, and the emergence of the string quartet as a novel means of musical dialogue. The author sheds light on the changing role of the orchestra, from its supportive function in earlier times to its independent prominence in the hands of Haydn and Mozart. This exploration extends to the realm of opera, examining the dramatic reforms initiated by Gluck and the vibrant operatic scene in Paris and Vienna. The book culminates with a discussion of Beethoven, a towering figure who inherited the legacy of the Classical era and paved the way for the Romantic period. By tracing these developments and interweaving musical examples, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of how musical expression evolved during this pivotal period, leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of Western music.
