Hello again, dear reader. I hope you have been alright.
I present to you my seventh sonata for piano solo and
my eighth sonata overall. This is my eightieth "minor
work" as well (the way I categorised my own pieces
could not be more misleading).
I would say this is a different sonata in terms of
tone, character and technical skill —or so I hope—.
It is also shorter than other sonatas of mine you may
have seen and/or listened to here, but none of this
makes my S7 inferior ...(+)
Hello again, dear reader. I hope you have been alright.
I present to you my seventh sonata for piano solo and
my eighth sonata overall. This is my eightieth "minor
work" as well (the way I categorised my own pieces
could not be more misleading).
I would say this is a different sonata in terms of
tone, character and technical skill —or so I hope—.
It is also shorter than other sonatas of mine you may
have seen and/or listened to here, but none of this
makes my S7 inferior or worse than my previous works in
any way or form, at least, in my opinion.
It is very much worth mentioning that I have dedicated
the full work to one of the most active contributors
here on free-scores and a personal favourite composer
of mine, Paul F. Page, whose pieces (both organ and
piano) have taught me a lesson or two at the very
least, aside of lots of joy and enrichment for my ears
and mind.
I would hardly consider this a work written in the
"Pagian" style but I have made an effort towards
approximating my otherwise distant style to his in this
already one year old sonata (I take my time publishing
my works, sorry): It consists on three movements which
I properly split in the additional recordings in case
you want to jump into any of them directly. The third
movement is a theme with 3 small variations; probably
the one that deviates the most from the purpose of
making a "Pagian-inspired" sonata.
That being said, I do hope you find this work of mine
pleasant to your ears. Please, let me know if you find
anything overlapping or any typo in the score. I will
fix it as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Daniel–Ømicrón.
