This educational video delves into sonata form, the musical structure that underpins so many of the chamber works programmed at the Manchester Music Festival. Geared toward music lovers who do not possess prior musical training, this episode elucidates not only the structure itself but the rationale behind it, allowing for greater comprehension and enhanced appreciation of large-scale compositions.

Artistic director and host, Adam Neiman, narrates and plays excerpts of the Mozart Piano Sonata in F Major, K. 280, with a highlighted score accompanying the musical performance to illuminate the main structural elements of the work.
