Sonata for violin and piano (2023)
I. Mesto
II. Phantasy
The main thematic material of this Sonata derives from the old Appalachian folk song "I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground." The first musicologists to record the song, John and Alan Lomax, noted that it may have been "sung first, perhaps, by a mountain moonshiner who had landed in jail."
