Scott Price: Summer Sonatina – Late Intermediate Piano Collection

Summer Sonatina is a three-movement work for late intermediate pianists that captures the changing moods of a carefree summer day — from sunlit energy to graceful reflection.

I. Allegro – A bright and driving opener in F Major, featuring Alberti bass, common time, and a classical sonata form structure.

II. Dance – A graceful Allegretto in triple meter, written in ABA form with light textures and elegant phrasing.

III. Élégie – A reflective yet expressive closing Allegro, also in ABA form, ending with a stirring coda and flowing triple meter.

From the first warm rays of morning to the quiet beauty of dusk, Summer Sonatina evokes the full sweep of a golden summer day. Perfect for students exploring classical form, dynamic contrast, and lyrical phrasing.
