Without a sonata, not very far. I would expect that even minor competitions/auditions require one.Do you not like them or something??Thal
Every great composer wrote sonatas.
My question, how can you not like a sonata? They are wonderful, to over simplify it and modernize it. They are almost like a TV miniseries. 3 or 4 episodes long, they tell a story with lots of contrast but there is an overall tie between everything in it.Sonatas are fantastic, you can also learn buckets of information from just studying one sonata.
Who likes miniseries? I much prefer movies. I guess you just explained why I don't like classical sonatas
Okay a trilogy or a series I guess a series would be more like Chopin op.10 and 25 I take it back actually a good example of mini series would be beethoven op.31 Anyway you got my point. I think... If not oh well. Haha
I did get your point and will stay away from Beethoven op 31 Chopin op 10 or 25 would be like a detective series without a continuing plot, much more to my taste really
Have you ever watched the show Psych?

Nope...
Take a look at itJ_menz I agree and disagree but can't put my finger on a good modern day example
So would the WTC, just sayin'

The Shostakovich P&Fs, or the Kapustin, for starters?
JS Bach, Pachelbel, Handel, Vaughan Williams, Britten.........As a side note, First Post + Really Stupid Question = Troll.
Bach wrote sonatas? Quite sure they other did too, even if they were never published.
Don't think it's available around here...
Netflix Or other internet tv sites You can get it
Bach didn't, and nor did the others. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'd love to see it!We're talking keyboard sonatas, btw.
Bach actually wrote a sonata for keyboard sonata...
Bach actually wrote a sonata for keyboard sonata, the sonata in D major BWV963. There is also the d minor sonata BWV964, which is a wonderful arrangement by the composer himself from his Violin sonata in a minor BWV1003
Is anyone familiar with Bourdieu?
Hmm... turns out he wrote four BWV 963-966 (and an additional four individual sonata movements (967-970)). How on earth did I not know this?
Vivaldi wrote keyboard concertos, which is basically a sonata with orchestra.
And as I wrote; They might have written without publishing them. Do you actually think you can complete a full study in composition, in the royal college in London (and be a pianist) without writing a sonata? (The one I'm taking about wrote a sonatina btw)
