Notes
Gaetano Donizetti’s Sonata in C minor consists of two parts, a slow Largo in C minor and a lively Allegro in C major. It was composed in 1819 in the early Romantic era which can be heard in the slow melody at the beginning. The sonata is dedicated to Marianna Pezzoli Grattaroli who believed in the promise of young musicians and bought their exemptions from military service.
