A new piano sonata

[gprengel]

Dear friends,

in the last year I composed a piano sonata in f minor. I would be happy if you would find some time to listen to the movements and share frankly what you think of it


You can find the movements at:

Is the opening a processional? There's a lot of opportunity for expressiveness which would make this a grand opening, but it didn't come through on my computer. I really like it.

Whoops - I listened to the second movement first. That's what my previous comment referred to.

[susanwen]

Now I heard the first movement. Not only very pleasant to listen to, but in many aspects, reminiscent of the great master himself. It is easy to imagine the drama aided by a wider dynamic range in live performance, and from what I heard, a fine piece.

I re-recorded my sonata in f-minor now with Garritan Personal Orchestra and I ask you to listen to it again. I think the sound quality improved very much:

I. Allegro con brio

II. Adagio sostenuto con variationi

III. Allegro

This is really great stuff!

How about the sheet music?

What do you mean with "sheet music"? The work is written as a Finale file.

Can you export it as a pdf?

Sorry I haven't had time to listen to this yet - very busy and a lot going on, but I'm certainly looking forward to it during the holidays given the rave reviews here.

How about the sheet music?

So far I never thought of creating sheet files of my works. Now I checked my Finale software and found out how to create Graphic "tiff" files, so if you are interested I could send you a zip file for each movement, for I don't have a webspace where I could put these zip Files.

Now I will also create also the scores of my Scherzo on sketches for Beethoven's Tenth and my quartett on his last sketches for a stringquintett from 1826...
