Program Notes:
This large-scale solo work in three movements presents a postmodern approach to the piano sonata. I mostly adhere to a "sonata form" structure while also experimenting with contemporary harmonies and popular culture influences. When I began writing this piece in 2020, I originally wanted to create a set of preludes for piano. The more that I worked on writing the score as time went on, I realized that creating a piano sonata proved more appropriate.
I drew much inspiration from composers from the Classical era to more contemporary times. In creating the Piano Sonata, I sought to write a piece with both the performer and audience in mind. While I do incorporate moments with dissonance, all three movements follow modern approaches to tonality through tonal centers and are presented in a way that is still pleasing to the ears. In terms of influences outside of classical music, I especially drew rhythmic inspiration for the last movement from Latin American musical genres and video games, which enabled me to complete the sonata by incorporating a fast tempo and syncopation.
