Amanda Harberg : Sonata for Piccolo and Piano

Subtitle : A Modern American Sonata in Three Movements

Description :
Published by Theodore Presser Company, Amanda Harberg’s Sonata for Piccolo and Piano is a landmark contemporary addition to the piccolo repertoire. Commissioned by a consortium of nearly two dozen renowned piccoloists, this 12-minute, three-movement sonata showcases Harberg’s signature American style, blending rhythmic vitality, lyrical intensity, and jazz-inflected harmonies into an emotionally engaging work.

Written for and dedicated to Jeffrey Allan Yost, the sonata reflects both the expressive and virtuosic range of the piccolo. It moves seamlessly between moments of flowing lyricism and vibrant energy, providing performers with an exciting and substantial concert piece that highlights the piccolo’s versatility and brilliance.

Ideal for advanced and professional performers, the work explores the instrument’s full spectrum—from intimate, dreamlike passages to exuberant rhythmic drive—making it an essential contribution to the modern piccolo literature.

Performance Tips :

Balance between the piccolo and piano is key. In the first movement, focus on the contrast between rhythmic precision and fluid phrasing. The second movement requires sustained tone and expressive nuance, while the finale demands brilliance, clarity, and controlled articulation. Collaboration with the pianist is essential to achieve the dynamic interplay that Harberg’s writing demands.
