The Sonatina was composed in 2007, and, as the title suggests, its direct, neoclassical style incorporates familiar formal patterns. The first movement adopts the precepts of sonata form, and the Nocturne presents a languid tune that alternates with a hymn-like chorale. The final Scherzo is an incisive transformation of the second movement theme, and its “trio” section further transforms the tune into a rather mundane parlor waltz which gains character as it progresses. The Sonatina was written at the request of Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra violinist Max Huls, and was premiered in June 2008 by The Huls Clark Duo (Max Huls, violin, and Christine Clark, piano).
