Piano Sonata Nº 1 / Christian Blaha
Description:
Piano Sonata Nr.1 could be seen as my ‘opus 1’, composed between October 1996 and March 1997 during my third year of study with Alexandre Hrisanide (1936-2018). I dedicated it with gratitude to my piano professor and mentor Joop Albracht (1946-2018).
The first part is written in sonata form, the middle section can be seen as a colorful intermezzo, and the finale is based on an uncompromising passacaglia.
