Sonata no 23 in F sharp major ( Binary form )

I’m excited to share my new piece: Sonata No. 23 in F-sharp major, written in binary form.

It’s a charming and playful work, full of unexpected harmonic twists that give it a unique and stylish character—perhaps the most distinctive sonata I’ve written so far.

I composed this piece in just a few hours spread over two days, making the creative process as spontaneous as the music itself.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it—let me know what you think in the comments!

A beautiful piece that strikes me as being in the neoclassical style. It’s always lovely to see handwritten sheet music.

I’m not sure if it’s a live performance or a virtual instrument; these days, anything is possible. The sound is a bit ‘muddled’ for my taste in a style like this.

Dear friend, thank you very much for your kind words—I’m glad you liked it. The piano is the Pianoteq 9 plugin. Sometimes the compression or the microphones might not be properly adjusted, so it can sound a bit muddled, but Pianoteq is the best there is when it comes to software. Also, I’m the one playing. I record it using the GarageBand program.

Hello @Vasilis Michael

It is refreshing to see a binary sonata form. Binary was primarily used by baroque period composers before the proper form took off.

In the A section, you would have your primary theme in tonic. Followed by contrasting B section in the Dominant. What makes binary stand out: the lack of transition between the two sections. Or maybe there is one(?)

We can tell there are two major sections. One that repeats and one that follows after repeat of first section. Ergo. binary!

I love how the main motive is used thorough out the entire piece. It moves so flawlessly.

As usually, your writing is on par! I could not hear anything wrong. :)
