Vassiliev, Konstantin: Sonata for Guitar

The composer says: The Sonata for guitar is dedicated to the Ukrainian guitarist Roman Viazovskiy who contributed a great deal to bringing it to completion. The work expresses the difficult contradictions in the internal world of the person, full of contrasting feelings and emotions, its irresolute misdirection, its sadness and joy, anxiety and tranquility. In correlation to these ideas, the contemplation of the classical three movement structure of the sonata form, where a great variety of shades are all related to one paramount idea, creates a unity of form.
