Scarlatti's style, however, is more than a transitional element in Western music ; like most of his Naples colleagues he shows an almost modern understanding of the psychology of modulation and also frequently makes use of the ever-changing phrase lengths so typical of the Napoli school.

For example, I would almost rather entrust my students to the old Bülow-Lebert edition of Beethoven's sonatas than to the Urtext, in which Beethoven's inconsistencies, especially in the matter of staccatos, slurs, and dynamic signs, can produce no end of confusion -- almost, rather, that is, because the Bülow-Lebert edition ... went too far the other way, not only inserting numerous unidentified changes but also making various details consistent that were never meant to be.

This type is shown in its highest perfection in the sonatas of Bach, Handel, and Tartini – who followed older Italian models and employed a type attributable to masters such as Corelli and Vivaldi ( Musical Form, Leichtentritt, Hugo, p. 122 ).

Three consecutive movements in exactly the same meter rarely occur in the symphonies, sonatas or chamber works of the great Viennese composers ( one notable exception being Haydn's Farewell Symphony ).

Critics continue to regard his complete Schubert sonatas as amongst the finest recorded, not least for their unique Viennese lilt and unaffected ease.

Among the many sonatas are numerous examples of the true sonata form being crafted into place.

This sonata is also unusual in that the Scherzo is followed by a Minuet and Trio movement, whereas most sonatas have either a Scherzo movement or a Minuet movement, but not both.

The thirty-second note figure that opens the flute sonata appears with some alteration in the first movement of the oboe sonata, and in rough inversion during the second movement of the one for clarinet ; likewise, a motive consisting of a dotted note filled out by two shorter notes appears in multiple places in all three sonatas.
