Piano Sonata : [eScore] / Elizabeth Younan.
Work Overview
This work is in three movements. Each movement explores a small musical motif which wholly permeates the work. There is no underlying story or explicit program; however, the musical structure and trajectory could certainly imply a journey from darkness and anxiety to light and joy.
Movements are to be played with little breaks in between.
