Sonatina in D Major (2011)

I. Exuberantly
II. Sweetly
III. In "one"

Listen to Jennifer Shafer perform it below.

I. The first movement of this sonatina was born out of an improvisation; all of the musical material in the first movement is derived from this improvisation. 


II. I had a young piano student who, rather than listening to me, was noodling around on the piano (as they often do); something he played became the opening idea of the second movement of this sonatina. 


III. The third movement is a toccata whose middle section is probably inspired by Prokofiev.
