My <a href="http://www.christopherguitar.net/blog/four-pieces-for-guitar/" rel="nofollow">Four Pieces for Guitar</a> have a bit of a program (hence the spacey sounding character words for titles). I just set out to write a Sonata. After the first movement, I knew I wanted a slow second and a fast third. The second movement came very intuitively, but the melody is adapted from a little piece I wrote for my <a href="http://michellereinke.com/" rel="nofollow">Girlfriend</a>. The final movement actually started out in 4/4 and I edited it to 7/8 because I liked the feel better. In all cases, the first melodies were just something that I came up with on the spot (just going for it) then working with them. -CD Hi David,

Can you expand on what you were thinking of when the movements were written, is there some sort of "aural picture" you had in mind during the process? If you had a subtitle, what would it be (e.g. Sonatina Meridional, Sonata Mexicana, Concierto de Aranjuez, etc). Interesting piece.
