Description
Composer Frank Lynn Payne says, “The Short Sonata for Tuba and Piano came together over a period of years morphing from one form to another. All three movements are “tonal” but certainly not in a “key.” Indeed, the tonal progressions are based in large part on Paul Hindemith’s observations of step-progressions. The second movement contains strong elements of dissonance which by repetition begin to sound “normal” to the ear. The third movement contains elements of minimalism along with the strong flavor of a rondo.”
