Trumpet Sonata – Trumpet and Piano

The sonata was composed in 2012. Its subtitle “A Midsummer Day’s Dream” has no direct association with Shakespeare’s images although its musical fabric distinctly expresses baroque classical and romantic elements as well as typical English themes. Collectively these features bring the sonata closer to the fantasy genre without disturbing the sensation of the sound’s contemporaneity. The piece consisting of four contrasting movements does not have a specific program but allows imagination of the performer to create the dramatic intent.
