Abstract Details

2012, M.M., University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Composition.
Sonata for Piano is a 15-minute 3-movement work for solo piano that represents much of the technical and artistic development I’ve made in acoustic composition while at CCM. While each movement has different energy and character, the work is united by a dense, diatonic harmonic language, na¿¿¿¿ve melodies, and a peaceful indifference toward dissonance. Structurally, the keys of C Major and F# Major take on tonic and dominant roles, respectively. The piece draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including ragtime, piano sonatas of the classical period, and modern choral repertoire.
