About the Sonata

I wrote this Sonata in 2007 to play along side the Hindemith and Poulenc Sonatas with my friend, clarinetist Charlie Silio. The piece was warmly recieved by the audience of both casual concert-goers and academics alike. For me, chamber music should be fun, rewarding and enjoyable for both the players and audience. I feel that the composer has failed if "I didn't really get it" is the overwhelming response from listeners. I hope that the result of this approach is a tuneful and engaging piece, whose complexity bears up well to repeated listening. I had a great time performing it, and hope to pass along that experience to others.

The Sonata is in three movements, running around 6:45, 3:30 and 3:30 respectively. Difficulty throughout is medium / advanced for both the piano and clarinet parts, with the slow movement being somewhat simpler.

The score is now available from my publisher, BRS Music
