October 21, 2025Oct 21 Greetings, my dear friends. Here I present to you the first movement of the classical sonata I am currently composing. I’ve set aside the binary sonatas for now and decided to focus on the classical form. This is my second sonata, and this time my source of inspiration is my beloved Schubert. I believe that, for a first attempt, I did quite well—at least for this movement. I hope you enjoy it.

The return to of recapitulation in subdominant key is rather like the "Easy" Sonata of Mozart. Very enjoyable music! Henry

Thank you very much, my dear, for your attention, and I’m very glad you liked it. Basically, it reminds me more of his early sonatas, and regarding the structure, I chose to follow this model because it’s my first attempt, and I wanted to take a somewhat more traditional approach. Yes, in the recapitulation, I think Mozart was the first to attempt moving to the subdominant, although I’m not sure if Haydn did the same. But yes, we all remember the K.545 sonata for that particular detail. On the other hand, Schubert does this repeatedly — in quite a few of his sonatas, especially in the early ones. I’ll try to put the same effort and passion into the other movements of the sonata as well. Once again, thank you for your appreciation.
