I found this to be one of the most interesting and adventurous of your recent piano works but it struck me as being more in the form of a fantasia. You've called it a sonata so my question is, am I simply missing the sonata form here?
Well, it certainly can be called a Fantasia, but this piece had three parts and a logical connection between the movements, so I decided to call it a Sonata, a rather very free form of a Sonata I might add.

Hi David, Thanks.

ok, so it isn't following the classical sonata form -- that answers my question, thanks.
