To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The de- velopment of the subjects of a sonata ought not to be of the same extent as those of the symphony, concerto, or overture ; for the obvious reason that the tone-colour is much less varied ; sonatas never being written for more than two instruments. Trios and quartets, &c., for strings and pianofortes, though written in this same form need not be developed to the same extent. Nor should the attempt be made to introduce grand symphonic effects in these works. A warn- ing may be given to co...mposers by pointing out how incomparably finer in effect Mendel- ssohn's D minor trio is to that of his trio in C minor, for the reason that in the latter work, especially in the last movement, pas- sages are given to the violin and violoncello ( 181 ) FORTSETZUNG FREE STYLE. which never produce the effect they are intended to convey : but nothing of the kind is found in the trio in D minor. Here every- thing has the character and form of chamber music ; and composers should bear in mind not to write symphonic music when they are composing musica di camera; though the form of the work and its movements may be the same as those of a symphony.
