THIS SONATA IS:
A LIVE DIALOGUE ... AN INTERRUPTED RADIO BROADCAST ... A FLIGHT OF FANCY ... DERIVATIVE ... A SILENT SCREAM ... NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT ... WOW AND FLUTTER ... A RIOT ... A BROKEN CASETTE ON A FAILING CASETTE PLAYER ... TAKING ITSELF WAYYY TOO SERIOUSLY ... THE LAST REMAINING ORIGINAL BAROQUE WORK, WITH SOME ERRATA ... 18TH CENTURY MUZAK ... IN BINARY FORM ... CORRUPT, VULGAR ... NON-EUCLIDEAN ... TOO SHORT ... TOO LONG ... TOO GOOD ... TOO BAD ... NOT ENOUGH ... MAKING THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION ... NOT BASED ON ANYTHING ... INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS ... UNCONSCIOUS, AUTOMATIC, REFLEXIVE ... REVISIONARY, THOUGHTFUL, INTROSPECTIVE, CONSCIOUS ... ORGANIZED ... CHAOS ... WEIRD, NEW ... OUTMODED, BEEN-THERE-DONE-THAT ... ???
