Here is a piece for piano and orchestra written as though it were the incidental music of play, set in Prague. The piano is in one way a soloist, but it is more a representative of the orchestra, acting less as a virtuosic instrument and more as the paragon of the spirit of the orchestra. The work features a variety of waltzes, a mazurka, a polka, as well as themes from Antonín Dvořák's Ninth Symphony -- mainly the fourth and second movements -- as a basis for the composition.

Hi. So this is a cello sonata. I wrote this between 2017 and 2018 and it was premiered in 2019. The recording is not the super bestest ever, but it does the job. This is the 4th long-form "sonata" type thing I wrote and it was mostly based around the idea of augmented chords within a kind of neo-romantic style.
