This book is Volume 1 of a proposed 7 volume series of books about the 450 year history of the keyboard solo sonata. The entire series is entitled Vibrant Keyboard Sonorities: The Solo Keyboard Sonata: A History in Seven Volumes. The title of this Volume 1 is The Keyboard Sonata in Perspective.
The intention of this multiyear project is to be a comprehensive history, critical evaluation, and appreciation of this grand artistic history. The author writes in an informative, entertaining, and engaging style, while avoiding pedantry and excessive detail. The text is well researched and referenced, including an appropriate amount of detail and helpful musical examples. It is hoped that these volumes may serve as reference works for music lovers.
