Extra info
The sonata form, a practical tool for exploring the possibilities of a new technique, was used to compose New atmosphere. In the other movements the material thus created is elaborated upon to examine its power of expression.
The second part reflects the first reactions of someone who accepts the invitation exploring together new territory.
The 3rd part is about meeting someone who turns down this invitation and combats innovation.
