It is suitable for players of intermediate ability. The key signature is C major. The time signature is 3/4 and the tempo is Andante. This is a free sheet music for violin duet. The origins of the term Sonata are in the Latin and Italian word 'sonare' meaning "to sound". The term was used to indicate a piece of music played on instruments rather than voice. There were two classes of sonata in the Baroque era : 1) The "sonata da chiesa" (in English : "Church sonata"), 2) and the "sonata da camera" (In English : "chamber sonata") proper for use at court. In the classical era the term sonata became more important and ultimately was used to designate the fundamental form of organization for large-scale, multi-movement works. | |||
