The first movement of Sonata for Trombone & Piano contrasts an angular, aggressive theme with a more lyrical theme. The second movement presents a long-breathed lyrical melody that unfolds farther and farther with each repetition. The third movement is a lively, humorous rondo with three themes that are more closely related than they might first appear. After a cadenza for the trombone, the themes return jumbling together in an exuberant coda.

Program Notes
Sonata for Trombone and Piano was written in the spring of 2005, as the result of a trombonist friend’s suggestion. The first movement contrasts an angular, aggressive theme with a more lyrical theme. After an intense, rhythmic development, the themes are recapped in reverse order, before a coda recalls the previous rhythmic section. The second movement, in ABA form, presents a long-breathed lyrical melody that unfolds farther and farther with each repetition. The third movement is a lively, humorous rondo with three themes that are more closely related than they might first appear. After a cadenza for the trombone, the themes return, first rudely interrupting each other, then all jumbling together in an exuberant coda.
