Englund's second piano sonatina The Parisian dates from 1984. Neoclassical in style, its brilliantly driving first movement gives way to the the sarabande-like middle movement, whose ambiguous harmonic motion in parallel thirds with octave doublings is challenged by a clangorous outburst of polytonality. The last movement is a fiery gigue on a jagged, syncopated theme.
