   “Violinist“

                   ____

it must be pointed out that sonatas could be

written for other instruments than keyboard,

but since any other instrument could play 

just one note at a time, it became the custom 

to make a keyboard instrument, which is to 

say, essentially, the piano, its accompaniment

therefore, you’ll find that sonatas can be 

comprised of more than just one instrument,

more about which later

don’t be confused, the history of music

is one of contradictions, as it is with, for 

that matter, any representation of reality

including, incidentally, religion, art’s 

historical ancestor, before the modern 

world took over, before the advent of

democracy, the French and American 

Revolutions, before our secular 

21^st Century, when artists took over 

from preachers, where we started 

getting our gospel from literature, 

rather, movies, television, concerts, 

instead of the Bible, for better or 

for worse

here’s, meanwhile, Mozart’s Violin Sonata

no. 26, in B-flat Major, K. 378, of 1779, 

telling it like it was, back then, starting 

the process
