Description
James King’s Sonatinas are wonderful style-pieces suitable for students and teachers who looking for fresh music similar to the great Sonatina masters (Clementi, Kuhlau, Beethoven, etc.)
This two-movement sonatina incorporates lots of articulation work as well as dynamic shading. The second movement is quite a bit easier than the first, and would be suitable for most early intermediate students. (This makes Sonatina No. 4 an excellent choice for an intermediate student who may not have as much time to prepare a recital piece, without the embarassment that performing a piece below one’s level might create.)
Key: C major/G major
Mood: Happy, energetic, enthusiastic. Calm and sweet in the second movement
Pedagogy: articulations, dynamics, fingering
