The 'Sonata for keyboard in D major, Op. 1/3' is a composition by the French composer Jean-Frédéric Edelmann. It was composed in the mid-18th century and premiered in Paris in 1755. The sonata is written for solo keyboard and consists of three movements. The first movement, marked Allegro, is in sonata form and begins with a lively and energetic theme. The theme is then developed and expanded upon throughout the movement, with the use of virtuosic runs and arpeggios. The second movement, marked Andante, is a slow and lyrical piece that showcases Edelmann's gift for melody. The movement is in ABA form, with the middle section featuring a more dramatic and intense theme. The final movement, marked Allegro, is a fast and lively piece that brings the sonata to a thrilling conclusion. The movement features a playful and catchy theme that is developed and expanded upon throughout. The 'Sonata for keyboard in D major, Op. 1/3' is a prime example of the French keyboard style of the mid-18th century. The sonata is characterized by its use of virtuosic runs and arpeggios, as well as its emphasis on melody and clear harmonic structure. Edelmann's use of ornamentation and embellishment is also a hallmark of the French keyboard style. The sonata is a testament to Edelmann's skill as a composer and his ability to write music that is both technically challenging and musically satisfying.
