A musical term. A contraction of sonata, commonly used in Japan for sonatina and zonatine. Examples of this usage can be seen as early as the 17th century, but in its modern sense it began to be used around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Even as sonatas themselves became larger, small sonatas continued to be written, and this term began to appear as the title of a piece, implying that it was not for professionals, but was easy to play for enthusiasts and beginners. Sonatinas for piano by Friedrich Kuhlau (1786-1832) and Muzio Clementi (1752-1832) are known as exercises for beginners. This term is used overwhelmingly in works for piano, and although it is sometimes seen in works with piano and violin arrangements, it is rarely used in other arrangements. In addition, small sonatas from the period before the term was popularized may also be called this term.

音楽用語。ソナタの縮小形で、ソナチナ、ゾナチーネの日本での通称。この使用例はすでに17世紀にみられるが、今日の意味では18~19世紀の変り目ごろから使われだした。ソナタ自身が肥大化していっても、相変わらず小規模なソナタは書かれ続けており、この用語は、プロのためのものでない、愛好家や初心者のための演奏の容易なもの、という意味も込められて、楽曲のタイトルとして登場するようになった。クーラウFriedrich Kuhlau(1786―1832)やクレメンティMuzio Clementi(1752―1832)のピアノのためのソナチネは初心者用の練習曲として知られている。このことばが使われるのは圧倒的にピアノのための作品においてで、ピアノとバイオリンという編成の作品にときどきみられることはあっても、それ以外の編成ではほとんど例がない。なお、この用語の一般化しない時期の小規模なソナタが、このことばでよばれてしまうこともある。 [大崎滋生] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
