Piano Sonata in b minor

A classic three-movement piano-sonata with a modern twist, featuring a high-energy first movement with a main theme inspired by the Netflix-series "The Witcher" that in classic sonata-form is contrasted by a major-key secondary theme, a serene second movement torn between two radically differently textured themes, and a boisterous waltz-finale that starts off very tame but gradually gets more and more exciting and virtuosic. Throughout its three movements the sonata explores not only the melodic and harmonic, but primarily the percussive qualities of the piano, with its driving bass lines and sharp rhythms that push especially the last movement's waltz-genre to and beyond its conventional limits.
