This was a fruitful and inspiring time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eI first composed a rather energetic piece which later transformed into the third movement of this sonata. It was joined later by the second movement, a meditative piece with some jazz flavour. I struggled for quite a while to complete the sonata with a first movement. Several attempts were discarded, before I finally found a peculiar musical form which completed the puzzle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eThe first, principal subject of the first movement (Allegretto agitato) is based on an impetuous triplet motion of quartal chords. It emerges gradually, phrase by phrase, in bars 5-6, 20-21, and 30-32 from the surrounding “protoplasm” of contrasting motifs and themes “communicating” with each other. After the climax in bars 44-46, the principal subject appears at full power in bars 47-53. After that, the second subject (Largo rubato) appears in the form of an intimate flageolet melody in bars 55-66. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eThe second movement is based on a sequence of jazz-like chords. These resemble the quartal chords from the principal subject of the first movement, but somewhat shifted towards D-major rather than D-minor. Together with a separate bass line and percussive effects, this resembles a “jazz trio” with piano, double bass, and drums. The movement has a meditative lyrical character. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eThe third movement starts with an energetic theme (Allegretto con fuoco) involving dramatic chords, passages, and dance-like quintuple-meter rhythms. The middle section (bars18-41) recalls the principal subject of the first movement in the form of a slow waltz. There follows is a recapitulation of the main theme (Allegretto con fuoco). After that, the second subject of the first movement arises in the form of a slow, lyrical yet expressive waltz which concludes the whole sonata\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eK.
