Maria Newman's "MASKIL"
Sonata for Piano Alone, is set in three
contrasting movements, and employs
formal elements such as fugue and rondo,
while exploring chromaticism, bi-tonalities
and dissonance, pedal points, wide register
displacements, glissandi, and highly
diverse dynamic content.
The word, "MASKIL", appears as a postscript to
ancient Psalms upon which composer
Maria Newman took emotional inspiration
within the composition of her sonata.
