Piano Sonata No.1 was composed in the early 1960â??s. My teacher, Tibor Serly, with whom I studeid for eight years, one day suggested it was time for me to write a sonata. The suggestion was a little intimidating at the time, but somehow I forged ahead until finally it was completed. Fortunately, Tibor's wife, first class pianist Miriam Molin, recorded the piece and can be found at the Naxos Music Library. -Edward Thomas
