Hey guys,
It's definitely been a while!
Although I haven't posted anything in a while (due to time constraints as opposed to lack of composing) I've finally got something worthwhile to show you all. Back in October my friend asked me to write him a piece to be performed on his senior recital (he is a music education major at the school that I'm going to attend starting next year - James Madison University). I had no limitations or anything as to timing, form, etc... so basically, I just sat down and started writing it.
After sketching most of the sonata out, I finally got it organized enough (cut out some stuff, added some others, etc.). I finished that whole process probably by about December, then sat on it for about a month and polished it to the final version back in January.
We had a few rehearsals before the recital, and they all went really well. My friend does want it to be known, however, that he is not a performance major. I think the performance went well (minus a few flubs on both our parts), and the audience loved the piece... I even was asked to perform the piece this fall on one of the violin performance major's senior recital!
Anyway, enough rambling! I've attached a PDF of the score and a link to the mp3 file below. As always, comments and criticisms are appreciated!

Also, sorry about the watermark at the top of the score - I had to piece this mother together from several different PDF files, but the music is all there.
Enjoy!
