42. Sonata-Fantasy for Piano - Analysis, Performance, and Score

In this, my first long-form video, I provide a cursory analysis, performance, and the score of one of my more ambitious works, the Sonata-Fantasy. I dig deep into how the motives and themes are developed and provide the glue which serves to unify the composition.

I liked the composers insight prior to listening to it more intelligently.

29:23 to listen to the piece first

This is a great idea! I almost suggested the option to do that in the video. It can be fun to listen first and see what you can figure out on your own, then compare to the analysis. I do think the analysis is worth watching though, I hope you do too.
