I began working on this piece in Luise Vosgerchin's performance class on the Classical Sonata in 1987. After many previous years of struggles with the sonata form, this time the first movement came rapidly and fully formed. The Scherzo and Trio were also quickly written. The Andante required some work on the re-transition, but the Exposition came quickly. The Variations were more of a struggle, especially concluding the piece with the piano flourishes. I was, and continue to be, very pleased with this as an apprentice work.
