Piano Sonata No. 1 (1995)

duration 11:00

piano

Written at the University of North Texas while studying with composer Cindy McTee. In 4 movements, the first utilizes a standard Sonata Allegro form. However, the other movements are free forms and more or less through composed. It is virtuosic in nature, quite bombastic at certain points, but lyrical in others.

Listen to movement 4:
