This is the third movement from my Sonata in Classical Style.  Started early in my formal studies (about 1985), I wanted to compose a piece in Classical Sonata-Allegro form. The intention was to recreate the style, not try to fool anyone. Some casual listeners have actually thought it was an old piece written in the 1700s. It was idle for many years, until I renovated it. Originally for Trombone and Piano, I also made versions for Bb Trumpet and F Horn. Then I went with the impulse to write string parts for it; this makes it more like a concertino. All of the versions are available for purchase through MusicforBrass.com  / See the first movement notes for an active invitation good through the rest of 2025.
