These two sonatas were written back to back and are intended to be played and listened to that way as well.

My very close friend Colin likes to say that my sonatas are either really diabolical sounding or "super cute." He thought these two were super cute when I played them for him.

The first is very basic, maybe even run-of-the-mill baroque-sounding music. I'd like to think that it's better than run-of-the-mill, but it looks like it took me less than a half hour to write it, so I was either highly inspired or really just fooling around. I'll let the listener decide.

I was trying to be silly with the second sonata. I think that with both sonatas I was aiming for something really childlike and playful. In that sense, I'd say that these sonatas better hint at the real nature of their composer than anything that's come before them; that's to say I'm not a very brooding person by nature. :o)

Enjoy!
