A Little Sadness, A Little Bitterness... Resolved 

While I was composing this Sonata for Cello for my good friend, the late Lawrence Granger (who was the 5th chair cellist with the San Francisco Symphony), I asked if he would mind doing improvisation during the performance. He said that absolutely, under no circumstances would he improvise. So the middle part of the piece is an improvisation I recorded, then painstakingly notated for him. Lawrence premiered this Sonata on Sunday June 27, 1993 at the Old First Church in San Francisco. I accompanied him, performing on the computer.

This music is dedicated to Lawrence, and is offered free to all who wish to download or perform it.
