Episode Synopsis

Sonata form is one of the oldest composition structures in classical  music but it’s being rediscovered, and in many cases re-purposed, by  contemporary composers.
What is the lasting appeal? We’ll play music by four composers  looking to the past for formal inspiration.  This episode also features a  tribute to David Maslanka who passed away shortly before the taping.
