Originally written for the violin, Corelli’s Sonata in F Major comes from a series of 12 sonatas written by the Italian composer. Each movement is short with a test of endurance in the high range for the soloist featuring consistent F4’s and higher. In particular, the third movement, “Gavotta,” contains multiple beats of sixteenth notes in the higher range as well as large intervallic leaps. This Sonata is an excellent example of introducing the soloist to the Baroque style in various tempi.
