“Reflections in Sonata: From Romantic to Modern,” offers a compelling journey through time, exploring the evolution of musical expression across styles, eras, and genres. Each work presents a unique perspective on the sonata form, ranging from the rich Romantic textures of Richard Strauss to the modern innovations of Mike Mower, with a touch of Impressionism from Claude Debussy and the lesser-known yet captivating music of Sigfrid Karg-Elert.
