Charles Shere:  Sonata 2: Compositio ut explicatio		2006
solo piano		back to list of works
score availability: see below		back to homepage

This second piano sonata is a major work whose three movements, running nearly an hour long, gradually revealing a phenomenological inner logic and brittle clarity that derives from Gertrude Stein’s 1934 lecture Composition as Explanation. I began writing it in 1996 and finished only ten years later; you can read more about this on my blog.

The score is available as either download or printed from my online publisher Lulu.
