My first
piano sonata was started
when I was in college,
but was recently revised.
The main key is B-flat
Major, with the first
theme of the first
movement being a fanfare.
The second theme is more
lyrical in nature, in
D-flat Major. After an
exposition repeat, the
development deals mostly
with the fanfare
material. The
recapitulation is
by-the-book, with a
sudden, surprising coda.
The slow movement, placed
second, has the character
of a chaconne, using two
different major scales in
the treble and bass
clefs. The tempo quickens
to a dance, and an
explosive climax. From
out of the ashes comes
the beginning of the
piece, modified from it's
original state. The
scherzo played rather
fast, mostly in octaves.
There is a short trio
which was influenced by
Prokofiev's Fifth
symphony. After the
dacapo, the movement
disappears into thin air.
The last movement is a
Rondo. The material for
the A section is taken
from the opening measures
of the piece. The B and C
sections are developments
of the other themes of
the first movement. The
sonata ends with much
finality.
