Sonata for Piano and Cello (mvmt 1)

Here is my first piece in quite a long time. It looks like the last piece I wrote was in January.

Anyway, this is some kind of piece for cello and piano, I'm calling it a sonata, though it's unlikely that I'll write more movements. It's a bit more modern that most of my other pieces, employing a decent deal of dissonance. The harmonic structures seem to pivot around perfect fifths, but I didn't (consciously :-) intend that.

I'd love to hear some feedback. All is welcome. I'm most interested in specific passages which might sound awkward or break the flow. I can't do much about the form now, but I can fix local-scale things. Oh, I'm not a cellist, so hearing about things that I've written that is either impossible or really really hard on the cello would be beneficial.

The score is my working score and mostly unedited: it needs more dynamics, phrasing slurs; I need to decide which hand is doing what on the piano.
