Sonata no. 1

The First Piano Sonata represents the attainment of a stage of awareness in the investigation relating to reflection on time. The term Sonata is inherited from the historical form which bases its internal articulation on the succession of fast and slow sections. This articulation allows the composer to initiate an emotional movement through the fielding of concise musical elements that combine, in a harmonic color that starts from the sonorities of a rarefied jazz sound. The new aspect within the Sonata genre is therefore the suspension of time which results in generating anticipation. This emotional suspension is obtained from the repetition of short rhythmic-melodic fragments that contain internal micro-variations. The Fast-Slow-Fast succession responds to the need to push the emotional aspect in a centrifugal way and then gradually stop it to allow reflection. The transitions of situations are seamless: ideas dissolve into each other, without clear fractures but always with a view to a continuous transition, as happens in the emotional dynamics.
