Sonatina (2015)

for alto saxophone and piano

 

        Sonatina for saxophone and piano is a work that came to life in the summer of 2015. The material was inspired by the feeling of restlessness from being disengaged from the world. This restlessness is embodied in the first movement with seemingly endless tension, and motifs that lead the listener towards destinations though rarely arriving at a resolution. In the second movement, this restlessness is portrayed by a theme that continually repeats. With each cycle, the theme grows more and more agitated before it breaks free at the end of the movement.
