Misc. Notes One of the most imaginative pieces in the collection, Sonata in C Major unites Western and Eastern sonorities. The combination of piccolo and shakuhachi over dual guitars and cello creates a cross-cultural dialogue rich in color. The structure reflects classical sonata principles, yet the timbrel palette broadens its expressive reach.

Extra Information Balance the contrasting timbres delicately—woodwinds must project without dominating. The two guitars should differentiate tone color: classical for clarity, acoustic for warmth. Maintain tempo steadiness and ensure intonation alignment between piccolo and shakuhachi. Sonata in C Major is the eighth composition in the Heart Strings CD
