In this set, there are more sonatas in d minor than in any other key, and my friend Justin is particularly fond of this one. He flattered me by telling me that if he ever decides to learn to play piano or harpsichord, he'll want to learn this piece first.

This is a fairly basic sonata that opens with broken octaves in the treble and closes each section with broken octaves in the bass. I was going for something Spanish-sounding here again, and I hope this will be particularly obvious in the closing sections of each half.

Melody drives this sonata along, and it falls very easily under the hands as well, so it should be entertaining for both the listener and the player.

Enjoy!
