FOOTNOTES:

[2] Among the four-movement sonatas of Op. 1, No. 6 (in B minor) has
the peculiar order: Grave, Largo, Adagio, Allegro.
[3] The Preludio Adagio only consists of four chords, or two bars; the
Adagio, again, only consists of four bars. The sonata, therefore, may
be considered as of three movements.
[4] 1680-1762.
[5] 1693-1764.
[6] 1685-1750 (Veracini is regarded as of the Corelli school, yet it
should not be forgotten that his uncle, Antonio Veracini, is said to
have published "Sonate a tre, due violini e violone, o arciliuto col
basso continuo per l'organo" at Florence, already in 1662).
[7] 1692-1770.
[8] It is important to distinguish between _sonata_ and _sonata-form_.
The first movement of a modern sonata is usually in sonata-form; but
there are sonatas (Beethoven, Op. 26, etc.) which contain no such
movement. Sonata-form, as will be shown later on, has been evolved
from old binary form. By _sonata_ is understood merely a group of
movements; hence objection may certainly be taken to the term as
applied to the one-movement pieces of Dom. Scarlatti, which are not
even in sonata-form.
[9] It must be remembered that Corelli spent some time in Germany
between 1680 and 1683, the latter being the year of publication of his
first sonatas at Rome.
[10] In J.S. Bach's 2nd Sonata for Flauto traverso and Cembalo (third
movement) there is a return to the opening theme in the second
section; also in the Presto of the sonata for two violins and figured
bass we have an example very similar to the "Hoboy" sonata of Handel.
[11] Krieger, by the way, studied under Bernardo Pasquini at Rome.
[12] Cf. Corelli: Corrente in 10th Sonata of Op. 2; also Allemande and
Giga of the next sonata.
[13] Cf. Scarlatti: No. 10 of the sixty sonatas published by Breitkopf
& Haertel.
[14] When there is clearly a second subject, that of course offers the
point of return. (See Nos. 24 and 39.)
