This is a book about classical music - for people who say they love music but don't understand how it works, as well as for performers and music students of all ages.
Proposing that deeper enjoyment begins with an understanding of music's basic structures, the book describes how the simple template of earlier dance-songs was adapted by composers writing music for instruments. The instrumental sonata became one of the great formal frameworks of western music: in symphonies, concertos, chamber music and solo sonatas, it dominated concert music for some 250 years - yet it is little understood by many music lovers. To simplify this vast field, Past Sounds singles out for study sonatas for piano trio - piano, violin and 'cello. These instruments have well-contrasted and easily identifiable sounds, and as the story unfolds the reader is introduced to many rarely heard but beautiful works for piano trio.
