Sonata Classica
• Allegro ma non troppo
• Andantino
• Adagio - Allego
• Rondo, allegro assai
|
The Sonata Classica is of an average difficulty. The second part, the Andantino, is simple, but the other parts need some pianistic skill. |
| Initially the first part, allegro ma non troppo started as a musical little joke, meant as a present for a baby-girl. The intention was to write a short piece based on the rhythm of her name, in different styles: 8 bars in Chopin-style, 8 bars jazzy and 8 bars in Mozart-style. However, the 8 bars Mozart-style grew and grew and in the end it became a complete composition of considerable length.This brought on the idea to make an attempt at writing a real sonata with this piece as first part. The andantino, originally written for 3 flutes, was remodeled for the piano. For the last part the Rondo allegro assai I used an existing work that I wrote long ago for the newly restored 18th century table-piano of friends. |
