On the Origins of the "Sonate auf Concertenart"

Abstract

This article traces the development of the Sonate auf Concertenart-a type of sonata that imitates the Vivaldian concerto in at least one of its movements-in Germany in the first half of the eighteenth century. While such sonatas had been considered to be the special property of Johann Sebastian Bach, the article shows that such works of Vivaldi were performed at the Dresden court; that composers from Dresden and its environs especially cultivated the genre at the time that Bach wrote his sonatas; and that such works, as well as Vivaldi's concertos, probably served as Bach's models.
