New Sonatina for Violin and Piano

A young Dutch violinist wrote me a few weeks ago suggesting I write her and her pianist friend a piano piece. I've been in the violin writing mode for the past month so I said sure. I wrote it this weekend, and it incorporates a few new things for me, notably a more chromatic harmonic palette inspired by some experiments I did this summer with Radiohead-like harmonies. The material was rather simple, and frankly, I'd practically forgotten about it! Anyways, I think it's going to be a fun piece and is about 6 1/2 minutes long. It's definitely written for intermediate level violinists and pianists - although my rhythms are admittedly always syncopated and a bit problematic because of that.

Also, the draft parts and score for my second violin sonata are now available. The score definitely needs resizing.
