Sonata no 18 in F sharp major ( Binary form)

Here is one of my favorite sonatas in binary form, inspired by the colossal Scarlatti, who is also the reason I started composing music systematically over the past two years. It’s a blend of Scarlatti’s style but also includes elements from other classical composers. A very playful sonata with quite a few unexpected modulations that make it even more humorous… I hope you enjoy it.

Very nice.  I'm a big admirer of Scarlatti myself, definitely hear the inspiration here.

"Thank you so much, I’m really glad you liked it. In the past few years, I had really explored his sonatas and I was blown away by how incredibly stylish and ahead of his time they were. He truly became the greatest source of inspiration for me. So far, I’ve written 20 sonatas in this style, although in most of them there’s a mix of Scarlatti, Mozart, and Schubert. But the combination left me amazed by the result."

That's the beauty of it all, it's all part of your own style. 🙂 

I'm not too familiar with Scarlatti, but your sonata for sure kept me engaged. I love the energy, wonderful job. I listened a few times just because I enjoyed it so much. 

Thanks for sharing!

I thank you so much for your wonderful words, and I’m the happiest person when my music sparks interest in the listener and they enjoy it. The truth is, I considered it my own innovation to take the Binary form and combine it with all of my influences. At first, I wondered how it would fit, but in the end, it worked out perfectly and it’s generally the style that suits me. Once again, thank you, and I’m incredibly glad you enjoyed it.
