A Piano Sonata

I've been directing a lot of effort toward this Piano Sonata, and recently i've become stuck. Any Ideas of where I should continue with it?

The last 10 or so bars are possible Ideas i'm experimenting with, so I'm not sure they'll stay. (Btw, they are not in the midi).

Wow, i really loved this piece.

as is it is, it seems to me to need an orchestral accompaniment, just an idea, i loved the rhythmic drive that you used to move forward, even through harmonically dissonant segments. very beautiful, and yet nerve wracking, kudos.

Morgri -

As tthis an old post I wonfder if you ever finished it. Did you?

My only suggest - trust the material you had at the start. You do a great job revealing the theme and using the ostinato. The second theme belongs to a different movement and the chromatic descents don't belong as it stands. If you haven't done so, mess around with your A section. Or develop the ostinato into something else -- example is the third piece from Debussy's Images -- he creates a great B section with tremelos around chords.

But the A sections is very good -- love the 7/16 rhythmns!

Well... it's very contemporary. Not quite my style, but I guess I could give you a few tips:
- You could move that entire semiquaver run up an octave and have the staccato chords in the bass.
- You could have and interlude that is occassionally played again briefly after a conclusion of a phrase or a transition from A to B (if it's in binary form)
- Have you thought about the second movement yet? Some of your ideas that you played at the end of the MIDI file might work for that movement.
