Tale of a Forgotten Epitaph (sonatina)

This is a piece following condensed sonata form written after finally defeating writers block for a few weeks. It was inspired by a bunch of forgotten about, cracked, ancient (possibly Roman) tombstones that lie on the side of a path in southern Spain, most of them were used for building two hundred years ago, but some lie there abandoned, peeking through the dried grass

While I plan to revise it, it will not be in the near future, and it is finished how it is. I would appreciate feedback of any sort

Here follows a guided analysis

Introduction: b1-10

• A monophonic chant presenting the main motif of the piece (ascending fourth), followed by the presentation of the ostinato for the first theme, which contains the second motif (three stepwise descending notes)

Exposition: 

• First Theme: b11-26
  • In Eb Phrygian Dorian, based on the shape of the opening chant, but also including motif two in the melody
• Transition: b27-34
  • Modulation from db to Bb
• Second Theme: b35-53
  • In Bb Acoustic, focusing in motif two but also including motif one

Development: b54-92

• Begins in E minor as a transformation of theme 1 in the lower register, with motif 1 serving as the accompaniment, it quickly gains harmonic instability and turns into transformation of theme 2 in A# minor, that turns into a restatement of the opening chant, but in C# minor, working as a false recapitulation. Instead of turning into a recapitulation of theme one, it goes back to the texture of the beginning of the development, but gains harmonic instability and serves as a way to lead back to the recapitulation

Recapitulation:

• Second Theme: b93-108
  • In Eb acoustic, now triumphant 
• Transition: b109-118
  • Reaches db minor and develops motif 1 mostly in its rhythmical shape, modulation back to Eb Phrygian Dorian 
• First Theme: b119-128
  • Eb Phrygian Dorian, funeral-like and devoid of ornamentation

Coda: b129-132

• Opening chant, quoting Debussy’s Brouillards
