Stephen Yates

Classical - Electric - Gigs - Sonata



My first work for solo guitar was inspired by a series of photographs of Chinese giantess Yao Defen. The piece takes the form of a sonata of sorts having three movements although the initial theme is recapitulated in the last movement not the end of the first so in some ways it is two movements one existing within the other
