These multi-movement sonatas of the late Classical period exhibit a mature sense of form, melodic phrasing, and harmonic richness. These sonatas prove why Barthelemon was considered one of London's leading musicians. Included are Op. 1, no. 1 in C-Major, Op. 1, no. 3 in E-Major, and Op. 3 in G-Major (dedicated to Haydn). Each sonata, originally published sometime around the early 1790s, ends with rhythmic rondo built on a folk-like theme. |
