Between October 2006 and June 2007, I wrote a sonata for piano in three
movements. I've submitted it for judging in the MMEA composition contest. The
recordings are all by a computer which is a bit clunky, but I do have recordings
of me playing it, but they have too many mistakes due to it being recorded at
midnight.
I have the sheet music online for each movement.

I. Allegro
This was the last movement written the day before I submitted it for the
contest. I need a movement in sonata form to be able to call the whole work a
sonata, so I had to make this at last minute. There is a funny little
modulation thing at the end of the development section.

II. Moderato
A somewhat slow waltz in A minor. I initially didn't like it as I was
writing it but came across it months later and thought "hmm... this would be a
good movement for my sonata."
Sheet music —
M4A

III. Allegro
This was at first called "Grandma's House" because it reminded me of being
there and listening to her music box. Later I realized it would work as a
final movement for a classical sonata because it follows rondo form. This was
the first movement composed.

If these are to be performed anywhere by anyone, all that I ask is for
someone to contact me because I'd like to know that it is being performed.
