Theodore Presser Sonata No. 1

Composed for flutist Marya Martin, who has championed and recorded much of Ewazen’s elegant and attractive flute music, Sonata No. 1 is cast in three movements in the grand romantic tradition. Program notes by Eric Ewazen are included, providing the composer’s own insights into his music. This work received its premiere at the 2011 NFA Convention, and has been recorded by Albany Records on the CD Marya Martin Plays Eric Ewazen (TROY 1271). For advanced players. Dur.: 18’
