Author Jacqueline Carey illuminates an interesting metaphor when she says “There are patterns which emerge in one’s life, circling and returning anew, an endless variation on a theme. So…the greatest sonatas are composed.”
The Italian word sonata describes a deeply expressive, variative form that composers have used since the 16th century. Enjoy the masterful quartet of Darel Stark (violin), Aris Doike (’cello), and Alex Hayashi (oboe), with continuo by Katherine Crosier in a concert of notable sonatas and suites from baroque Italy, Germany, and England.
The concert will include selections from the following pieces:
- Sonata Echo à 4 by Antonio Lotti (1667–1740)
- Cello Suite No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)
- Sonata No. 1 (1697) by Henry Purcell (1659–1695), transcription by Pierre Gouin
- Sonata for Solo Oboe, h 562, by C.P.E. Bach (1714–1788)
- Violin Sonata in G minor, h 542, by C.P.E. Bach
- Trio Sonata, Op. 1, No. 3, by Arcangelo Corelli (1653–1713)
