The Bridgetower Sonata: Sonata Mulattica
In this vividly imagined historical novel set in 18th and 19th Century Europe, and based on actual events, Emmanuel Dongala limns the life of George Bridgetower, the young mixed-race violin prodigy who took the classical music world by storm. Part Black from his Barbadan father and part-White from his Polish mother who served as a handmaiden in the Hungarian court, George Bridgetower first mesmerized the world at the cusp of the French Revolution, and went on to become of England's Prince of Wales before arriving in Vienna where he became the protege of Ludwig Van Beethoven with whom he composed and performed a brilliant duet for piano and violin that the maestro dubbed the Sonata Mulattica--but later retracted the name and retitled it the 'Kreutzer Sonata' in a fit of rage after a falling-out with the young George.

Sonata Forms
Charles Rosen says of sonata form: "[It] is not a definite form like a minuet, a da capo aria, or a French overture; it is, like the fugue, a way of writing, a feeling for proportion, direction, and texture rather than a pattern."
Krejtserova sonata
'Ved ona protiv voli moej zavladela mnoju!' - vosklitsaet neschastnyj Irtenev. Avtor ostavil emu vybor mezhdu samoubijstvom i ubijstvom toj, kotoraja 'zavladela'. Takova rasplata za dobrachnyj seks, za to, 'chto vse delajut'. Ibo v glazakh grafa-filosofa 'delat kak vse' - znachit, byt mertvym, ne probuditsja k istinnoj zhizni. Revnostnej vsego Lev Nikolaevich borolsja, konechno zhe, s pokhotju chresl. V etom smysle povest avtobiograficheskaja (dazhe familija Irtenev 'otsylaet' k Nikolenke Irtenevu iz 'Detstva'). I drugie zhelanija graf takzhe staralsja umertvit, daby voskresnut, - otkazalsja ot mjasnoj pischi, ot roskoshi, ot vsego, chto privlekaet k navazhdeniju zhizni. No kak borotsja s samim navazhdeniem? 'Protiv voli moej zavladela mnoju'... Zhena Tolstogo Sofja Andreevna nenavidela etu vesch. Tem ne menee, imenno ona sdelala vsjo vozmozhnoe i nevozmozhnoe, chtoby eta povest, zapreschennaja k pechati tsenzuroj i vyzvavshaja gnev samogo 'tajnogo pravitelja Rossii' ober-prokurora
