Perhaps best-known for the musical West Side Story, composer Leonard Bernstein was one of the most accomplished and influential musicians of the 20th century. For fifteen years, beginning in 1958, Bernstein attempted to turn the youth of America on to music through a series of televised performances called Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts. Using music from artists as varied as Mozart and The Beatles, Bernstein spends this episode covering the elements of a sonata. Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts: What is a Sonata? was originally broadcast on November 6, 1964 and features a special appearance by soprano Veronica Tyler. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
