Sonata Concisa for Trombone and Piano

Composer's note: The Sonata Concisa is cast in one continuous movement, comprised of three separate sonata forms that create an overall ternary structure. The first section presents several contrasting ideas: an arching, maestoso idea in F followed by scherzando and cantabile passages in C. The maestoso idea then returns to close clearly in F. The second section is slow and ethereal. Materials from the first section then return to conclude the work.

Range: Low C to High A
