no pain, no gain sonata for solo trombone
duration: 6 minutes movements: I. ballade II. groove III. toccata
program notes: Sophia is by far one of the best performers I know. When we discussed the possibility of writing a piece for them, I knew I had to write something worth their time. It made me think about the difficult path it takes it develop your craft and the many struggles we go through to persevere and led to me writing a piece based on that idea. no pain, no gain is about continuous growth, breaking barriers, and metamorphosis. The piece becomes harder page by page, movement by movement.
