Gilded Sonata

{harpsichord solo

introducing the primary

theme, delicate ornamentations}

{vibrant bowed baroque cello enters,

doubling the bassline with

harpsichord

accompaniment}

{soaring baroque violin

enters

playing

the

central expressive melody over

driving counterpoint}

{modulating key, spirited call-and-response between violin and cello,

harpsichord driving the tempo} {return to original key,

violin and cello unite in a sweeping final rendition of the main

theme} {harpsichord fading out on a

sustained tierce de Picardie major

chord, trailing reverb}
