Corelli depicted a new pattern in his
Trio Sonatas, which is as great and
mysterious as the whole universe. In the
third cassette of these series, four
more sonatas are presented to the
admirers of Corelli's music. These
pieces are regarded as the earliest
unique examples of pre-classic sonata. |

Corelli
was looking for simplicity and the
implementation of the descriptive capabilities
of instruments. In this respect, by avoiding the
double stops used by German violinists, he chose
a melodic style and made the two violins
sing poetically.
Second half of the tape begins with Divertimento
in D-major, op.91 for string Trio, by the
Austrian composer, Franz Joseph Haydn. This
piece expresses Haydn's genuineness and reveals
an image of his Viennese character.
Haydn was born on March 31, 1732 in Rohrau,
Austria. Due to his extraordinary talents, he
soon made an enormous progress in music. In
1808, The performance of his Creation Oratorio,
conducted by Antonio Salieri, was faced with the
huge admiration of the audiences. Beethoven
dedicated him his very true respects. Haydn died
on the night of May 31, 1809 while Vienna was
occupied by the French troops.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27,
1756 in Salzburg. He was an incomparable musical
prodigy who composed unique works during his
short life. These compositions made a
significant change to the music of his time.
According to Wagner, his great genius has put
his artistic level above all of the art masters.
Six pieces for string Trio are presented in this
album. Mozart passed away in December 5, 1791
Mozart in Vienna.
Andante by Antonio Vivaldi, the Italian composer
born on March 4 1678, is an interesting and
pleasant work. In praising Vivaldi, it is enough
to mention his comprehensive effect on the music
of his contemporary composers and those who
succeeded them. Handel, Leclair and above all
the great Bach owe him their familiarity with
the musical forms to a great extent. Nine of
Vivaldi's concertos are arranged for organ and
celesta by Bach. He spent his entire life
studying, training, composing, and performing
music. He turned the Ospedalo Della Pieta
orphanage into an important music center.
Vivaldi died in Vienna in January 1741.
Henry Purcell was born in 1659 in London to a
family of musicians. He composed his first works
in the early age of eleven. His huge number of
works and the originality and variety of his
musical styles are truely fascinating. He was
among the modern artists of his time and
developed new principles for music analysis.
Indeed after his death in November 21, 1695,
English music was interrupted and took two
centuries to revive. The original scores of
these compositions are being preserved in the
British museum in London.
