The Finale movement was written in 2010 as a one-movement "Sonatina," and performed in 2011. The players asked me about expanding it, which I finally did over the last two weekends, with the Prelude and Fugue. The Prelude (in a rounded binary form, with both halves repeated) especially is very Romantic in style (even more than is usual for me). The Fugue starts off with a 12-tone exposition, but is immediately "transposed" into B minor, which becomes the overall key of the movement. The first two movements are recorded with Notion3 sounds; the 3rd movement uses Notion2 sounds.
