Sonata for Flute and Piano (2018)
 

1. Flute Salad

2. Cookie Waltz

3. Jigsaw

The Sonata for Flute and Piano is a 3-movement work cast in standard sonata form. All the themes were developed from earlier piano pieces of mine. The work was composed for and is dedicated to flutist Mary Palchak.

​

My intention was to make a classical sonata using "pop" materials. As a result, the piece is very listenable and accessible.


 

Audio samples are from the premiere performance by Mary Palchak on flute with the composer at the piano.

I. Flute Salad  A latin rumba, the main theme is from my tune collection entitled Songs for the Rishi Ganesh which consists of catchy “pop” melodies that I thought might bear working out in a classical setting.

II. Cookie Waltz is based on my very first composition, Mookwipps #1 & 2.

III. Jigsaw is based on the contrasting middle section of the very same Mookwipps.
It is a sort of Gigue —  Jigsaw. Get it?
