Piano Sonata No. 1

This is a piano sonata with diverse movements ranging from a neo-classical style to a form of minimalism. The first movement is in strict sonata allegro form and portrays a sort of celebratory fanfare. The second movement slows down to take a more meditative look at nuances from the last movement. The third movement makes a stark contrast to the first two movements and while still retaining a hint of the same idiom. It has a quick, driving force that pulses all the way to the end.
