This piano sonata is scored in 3 movements in the late-classical / early-romantic style. Its publication marks the official commencement of my career as a classical composer, as it is my opus 1. The first movement is in G minor, the second in C major, and the third in G minor. While it does make use of ideas that have been stuck in my head for years now, the overall construction took place over the course of a couple of sleepless nights. Each movement is in sonata form, with a repeated exposition.
The sonata is an allusion to my neurotic personality. It is a musical adaptation of my chaotic internal conflicts (hence the name) and is my most extensive published work to date. I understand that such a work is technically demanding, but if there is one wish I can hope for, it is that the performer plays it with the utmost passion. This is not intended to be a light-hearted piece of music. This is the sound of sanity’s demise - a musical representation of the battle against one’s own psyche.
