Sonatinas, Rondos & Pieces

i love sonatinas!

no, it's not the korean show. it's a genre of musical movements.

son·a·ti·na ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sn-tn)n.
A sonata having shorter movements and often less technically demanding than the typical sonata.


so·na·ta ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-nät)n.
A composition for one or more solo instruments, one of which is usually a keyboard instrument, usually consisting of three or four independent movements varying in key, mood, and tempo.


Mine's the Sonatina Album, Schirmer's Library of Musical Classic, Vol 51, by Louis Kohler, Ludwig Klee, etc. It's a classic yellow book. Every pianist would have at least played the compositions in it once.

My fav's from Muzio Clementi's Op. 36 No. 2, 3 & 6.

:D I hope playing the piano's coming bk into my life!
