Sonata 46

SONATA 46 for violin and classical guitar

duration: 5 minutes

commissioned by Duo46

premiered by Duo46 in Austin, Texas in February, 1999

Loosely based on the one movement sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, Sonata 46 is a tour-de-force of powerful virtuosity.  I wrote Sonata 46 to allow Duo46 to show off their incredible talents, and to leave audiences breathless.
