Sonata for Guitar

- Sonata in Ab Major first movement -



the opening theme is sort of based on the idea of the minor second
expanding out and forming an augmented triad feel. This use of
secondal relationships is one of the core elements I'm trying to
weave into the piece.



The second theme takes the idea of the minor second and uses it as an ostinato
over which there is a nice little melody. The tonality drifts in and out of key
and has a sort of bitonal feel.
