DESCRIPTION:
Gioacchino Rossini composed his Sonate a quattro (for two violins, viola, and double bass) when he was 12 years old and performed them, he later recalled, with a group of acquaintances who "played like dogs," although he himself was the "least doggish." These sonatas are less well known than Felix Mendelssohn's somewhat more accomplished string sonatas, but they give foreshadowings of Rossini's melodic gift. They do not sound like instrumental opera arias, however, even though the early instrumental pieces of other Italian opera composers often have that characteristic. Each is in three movements and shows a sort of abstraction of the style of Haydn and Mozart. They became popular as Rossini's fame spread, and he himself arranged them for various instrumental combinations, including the version for winds performed here. The sonatas are "ideal music for amateur music-making." Rossini's sonatas served many a Parisian in the nineteenth century for light listening or background music, and they will be satisfying for the same purpose. ~ James Manheim, Rovi
