Piano Sonata No 2

Hello Dr. Kalve,

As with your serialism vocal piece, I enjoyed seeing the amount of detail you put into the music annotations in this piano piece. I admire such dedication, as many of us, by the time we've entered the notes, get too lazy to annotate the score, even though that's where the score comes to life.

Sherry asks some good questions above about how you entered the notes. I'd be interested in also knowing about how your time was divided between adding the notes and adding the annotations.

I notice a lot of augmented 4th intervals in this piece, which serve to break down the tonality, which is then starkly contrasted by tonal sections. I happen to enjoy such aburpt changes in tonality as you employ.

Cheers
