Aria in c minor written to my son Jonas 05.05.23.

Hi everyone! I am here to present the third movement of my Piano Sonata no.2 in A-flat major. Previous two movements are also posted in YC and you can have a look in them if you're interested: The third movement opens with the opening theme of the first movement in a more flowing manner with some counterpoint. It also plays with the texture of the second movement with the movement almost non-stop with the quavers except some cadential moments. The pdf and mp3 files are attached as usual: Piano Sonata no.2 3rd Movement.mp3 Piano Sonata no.2 3rd mov 26-04-2023.pdf The movement is in sonata form without a development, since nothing needs to be developed here as an Intermezzo: 00:00 Exposition, 1st Subject 00:31 Transition (?) 01:15 Exposition, 2nd Subject 02:01 Recapitulation, 1st Subject 02:26 Transition (?) 02:53 Recapitulation, 2nd Subject 03:40 Coda, roads leading to the main hurdle... (Even I myself am not sure where is the beginning of the transitions and 2nd subjects since there's no medial caesura...) For me this is my least favourite movement of the sonata. I feel like it's less emotional and authentic here than any other movements. But of course this can be a bias. The youtube video is also attached here: After this movement it's time for the real hurdle and my favourite movement of the sonata... Even though it's prepared and hinted throughout the previous movements but the coda of this movement cannot tell less of it... Stay tuned... Henry

That's a fair point but professional and good amateur players would be able to 'stage manage' balance. I'm a supporter of double passes having independence in ensembles. In our local orchestra (which is chamber-sized) before covid lockdown, we have/had a bassist who often used a cello bow to lighten the weight of the sound.

It finally happened, yall! Huge deal for me and a really really important passion piece about my thankfulness for being able to study music in college. There are a lot of things I want to improve moving forward, but I hope everyone enjoys. Lots of passion between every collaborator in this premiere. I hope to hear it played again / have this lead to some things, but this was pretty special for me. Let me know your thoughts!
