Piano sonata no 5, Opus 24

Digital copies were created from a selection of items in the original hard copy John Simon collection held in DOMUS in the Stellenbosch University Music Library.Note by composer: "Piano Sonata No 5 (op.24) (11’12’’) was written in Walton-On-Thames, Surrey, in 1973, and is in three movements marked 'Comodo', 'Largo e sostenuto' and 'Vigoroso'. Movement 1’s main theme consists of a recurring semiquaver falling arpeggio idea (initially in E flat) with an ever-varying extension. This theme recurs throughout the movement. An expressive theme in C minor, in smaller notes and marked 'Meno mosso', is soon joined by the main theme now in diminution. This developmental dialogue between the two themes leads to the recapitulation, which commences with the original 'Comodo' marking. The movement ends with a recall of the valedictory C minor second subject. The first movement has the character of a contrapuntal conversation, and has at times a syncopated, almost jazzy quality, helped along by dotted notes in the bass. Movement 2 is a lyrical movement marked 'con molto sentimento'. It is made up of a main theme and two subordinate themes that recur and alternate (their markings are 'largo', 'adagio' and 'appassionato'). Towards the end of the movement a fragment of the main theme, marked 'grandioso', takes on a cadenza-like quality. The movement ends with the main theme followed by a bell-like extension that leads directly into the 'finale'. Movement 3, marked 'Vigoroso', is a tempestuous monothematic movement in 'alla breve' time. The contrapuntal element, central to the first movement (whose main idea is recalled in bars 61 and 62), is once more brought to the fore. However, the forward momentum in here is infinitely more intense than in the first movement. The sonata ends with a fiery 'accelerando' climax. By this stage Bach had become an important factor in the composer’s musical world, and this perhaps accounts for the sonata being essentially contrapuntal."Score. 'Composed Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, 1973.
