Sonata No. 16 in D Minor

The manuscript for this very early sonata in d minor isn't dated, but it didn't come very long after my first sonata, so it would be a bit over a decade old also.

The device I had in mind when writing this sonata was clearly rapidly repeating notes. At the close of each section, there are some jumps in the left hand sort of similar to Scarlatti K.12, only moving in the opposite direction before landing deep in the bass. The closing figures are an extended play on the opening figures that momentarily sound two voices at once (in an octave).

Enjoy!
