| dc.description.abstract | Although academic papers and dissertations on Costa Rican music are not completely uncommon, only a handful focus on piano music. The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the sonata genre in the Costa Rican piano literature. Even though piano music has been written in Costa Rica since the end of the nineteenth century, the first piano sonata was not written until 1965. There are only six composers – five of them living – that have written at least one sonata for piano, and only one of these sonatas has been published. In this document, I provide an overview of one piano sonata by each of the Costa Rican composers that have written in this genre. This work is divided into two parts. The first part aims to provide more context on the history of Costa Rican piano music. The second part includes a biographical sketch of each composer, an overview of the elements of their musical style, and an overview of the form, structure, and musical language in the selected piano sonata. | en_US |
