It is possible that Bach composed the Trio Sonata in G major at that time, or it may have appeared later in Leipzig, where Bach directed an amateur music ensemble on the side. He wrote many of the surviving chamber music scores during his time in Cöthen (1717-23), one of the few periods when his secular duties trumped church music.

Franz Liszt's comprehensive "three-movements-in-one" Sonata in B minor draws on the concept of thematic transformation first introduced by Schubert in his Wanderer Fantasie of 1822. Piano sonatas in the Romantic era Īs the Romantic era progressed after Beethoven and Schubert, piano sonatas continued to be composed, but in lesser numbers as the form took on a somewhat academic tinge and competed with shorter genres more compatible with Romantic compositional style. The 32 sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven, including the well-known Pathétique Sonata and the Moonlight Sonata, are often considered the pinnacle of piano sonata composition. The much younger Franz Schubert also wrote many. Clementi's Opus 2 was the first real piano sonata composed. He is well known as "The Father of the Pianoforte". Muzio Clementi wrote more than 110 piano sonatas. Piano sonatas in the Classical era Īlthough various composers in the 17th century had written keyboard pieces which they entitled "Sonata", it was only in the classical era, when the piano displaced the earlier harpsichord and sonata form rose to prominence as a principle of musical composition, that the term "piano sonata" acquired a definite meaning and a characteristic form.Īll the well-known Classical era composers, especially Joseph Haydn, Muzio Clementi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven, wrote many piano sonatas. Bach's popular Italian Concerto, despite the name, can also be considered a keyboard sonata. Other composers of keyboard sonatas (which were primarily written in two or three movements) include Marcello, Giustini, Durante and Platti. The influence of Spanish folk music is evident in Scarlatti's sonatas. These sonatas are prized for both their technical difficulty and their musical and formal ingenuity. The majority of these sonatas are in one-movement binary form, both sections being in the same tempo and utilizing the same thematic material. The sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti (of which there are over 500) were the hallmark of the Baroque keyboard sonata, though they were, for the most part, unpublished during Scarlatti's lifetime.
The keyboard sonata was relatively neglected by most composers.

In the Baroque era, the use of the term "sonata" generally referred to either the sonata da chiesa (church sonata) or sonata da camera (chamber sonata), both of which were sonatas for various instruments (usually one or more violins plus basso continuo).
