The name of this musical form comes from the Italian word suonare meaning "to sound". In the past (17th century), a sonata was an instrumental piece for multiple voices and thus became the opposite of a vocal cantata.
This Soviet composer and pianist born in Sontsovka in 1891 is one of the best examples of the Soviet composition school. His work influenced later artists from his side such as Aram Khachaturian or Dmitri Kabalevsky.
