Sonata No. 3

Sonata No. 3

Richard Wernick

Richard Wernick�s third piano sonata begins as a musical outgrowth of his first; what functioned as the fading away of the earlier work is now the impetus for a whole new piece, with its first movement titled �... a coda completed.� The second movement is just plain fun,�The Sunken Synagogue � with a Fiddler on the Roof� referencing Debussy�s The Sunken Cathedral, its piety interrupted by bits of scherzo-like �fiddling� perhaps more inspired by Chagall than by Tevye. The third movement, �Bits and Pieces,� takes fragments from the prior movements and develops them in fresh ways.
