CYCLICAL FORMS.
SONATA.
The Sonata is by far the most important form, and maj be coH' sidered the mainstay of instrumental music,. Remarks on the technical construction of the sonata apply equally to the form of the trio, quartet, or symphony, which latter will therefore be •treated in a somewhat shorter manner. The name Sonata is derived from the Italian verb sofiare," to sound," and is originally designated as a piece which has to be played, not sung. Praatorius in his " Syntagma musicum," pu
...blished in 1614, says: " Sonata, a sonando, is thus called as it is not sung by human voices, but solely sounded by instruments." The old sonata, as we have it from Biber, Kuhnau, Mattheson, and others, contains the germs of the modern sonata, but not much more ; it was rather to be considered as a shorter suite, in so far as the first movement had a great analogy with the allem&nde. The slower movement, again, has an affinity with the sarabande, and the last or quick movetnent with the gigue.
