Sonata Form Redux

Sonata form is one of the oldest composition structures in
classical  music but it’s being rediscovered, and in many
cases re-purposed, by  contemporary composers.


What is the lasting appeal? We’ll play music by four composers
 looking to the past for formal inspiration.  This
episode also features a  tribute to David Maslanka who
passed away shortly before the taping.
