"One Like the Other:" Genre and Form in the Eighteenth-Century English Accompanied Keyboard Sonata
Bursting with talented composers, dazzling performers, and a wealth of imported music, eighteenth-century London was a cosmopolitan hub that nurtured the rise of new musical styles and genres—chief among them, the accompanied keyboard sonata. This lecture-recital explores genre and form in eighteenth-century English instrumental music through this fashionable medium, featuring works by Felice Giardini, William Jackson of Exeter, Carl Friedrich Abel, Augustus Kollmann, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Performers:
- Damonico Taylor, period violin
- QinYing Tan, historic keyboards
