Product Description
Composer notes: "My first sonata for piano, best described as neo-impressionist, was inspired by two of my favorite piano composers, Ravel and Debussy.
The first movement, Prelude, is actually in a loose sonata form, with a cascading development section climaxing in an augmented 7th chord that defines the work as a whole.The second movement, Song and Dance, consists of a lively jig bookended by slow reflection and transitioning straight into Movement 3, a toccata-like ride full of forward momentum that threatens to derail with occasional atonal interruptions.The final movement returns to the style of the first, this time emphasizing the Lydian mode, giving a sense of hesitance, as though the piece itself is reluctant to end."
