Sonata for Piano
September 5th, 2011 Music, Piano Solo

The Sonata for Piano is the first major piano solo work by David Yeagley using his new system of harmonic organization.   Yeagley has written numerous piano solo works, but this one is the first employing the harmonic system he began developing in 1994, at the University of Arizona, where he studied with Daniel Asia.  (Yeagley received his Doctorate in Musical Arts in August, 1994, and majored in piano performance and minored in composition.)

The Sonata for Piano is in four movements, and follows the classical sonata form.  It also involves both late Romantic gestures, and innovative shapes and expression.

1. Andante con licenza

2. Andante senza licenza ma non macchinala

3. Mazurka:  Maestoso con moto con licenza e pronunziato

4. Presto agitato

Score:  44 pages, (© 2011) approx. 20 min.  Price:  $25.00 (includes shipping)

I have learned that Nicholas Zumbro, my piano professor at the University of Arizona where I earned my doctorate, is presently learning my piano sonata, and has plans to premier it in New York.

Mr. Zumbro is one of the last of the Rosina Levine class at Juilliard, along with John Browning, Andre Watts, etc. He is retired from the university, but still actively concertizes. He was in Greece this December-January (2011-2012).

Mr. Zumbro is about to release, in America, two of his most successful CDs (recorded in London):
