Work Overview
This Sonatina was written in 2011, and revised in 2012 with
attention to making it easily playable by student pianists. To
this end, the composer has added fingerings and other suggestions
for the player.
The first movement is very much set in the traditional
sonata-allegro mold. Truly postmodern, it makes judicious use of
bitonality and similar harmonic techniques. The different
registers of the piano are exploited for colouristic effects. The
second movement is a piece of dance-inspired fun, using miniature
variations, sharp contrasts and some unusual harmonic
progressions. The third movement takes the form of a
fantasy-rondo on
an Australian folk song.
