Sonata in Bb - 3rd Movement


Recommended Posts

This is heavily Beethoven influenced - all the way down to his quirky little syncopation variations of the melody and dramatic repeated accented chords on weak beats (on the last page - I could have done with maybe 2 or 3 fewer repetitions of that chord but that's just personal taste).  This piece shows off your knowledge of Beethoven without copying him, which is an achievement.  Also - is this a live performance?  If so, it is very well played!  If not - you managed to make it sound quite rubato in many spots so kudos on the humanization!  Have you ever thought about orchestrating one of your sonata movements to get that symphonic sound?  I bet it would sound awesome!  Also, this sonata already sounds in many places like it's a piano reduction of a symphony so it might work to orchestrate it.  Great job and thanks for the music!

Very nice themes and very skillfull and pleasant development.
Clear style; Beethoven, as you said.
Very impressive texture. Wide register, variation in the amount of voices and density and even language (homophonic, polyphonic). However, well-bound, not random and very structural and menaingful.
As a matter of taste I really enjoy this style of compositions. I appreciate the eccentricity of the extreme elements, like the fff VII/V in the end. Cool stuff.
