Tiny Sonata
Davies, Maxwell
Authors
Abstract
This work is part of my Tiny series: little musical portraits of my two-year-old son, Sebastian. All the works in the growing series use the same material, but it is reworked in an idiomatic way for different combinations of instruments.
The title references, in addition to the ‘tiny’ subject, the fact that it does contain all the elements of a late-classical-period multi-movement work in miniature: a sonata form first movement, a scherzo and trio, a slow movement, and a sonata-rondo finale. So it is quite literally a Tiny Sonata, about a tiny person. These bite-sized dimensions give a little flavour of what (at least this composer’s) contemporary classical music is all about, without being too long or intimidating, which will hopefully appeal to any audience.
The trumpet and organ version of Tiny Sonata was written for trumpeter Chris Hart; a player for whom I’ve wanted to write for since working with him during the Arcomis International Brass Event 2013.
