Kruglik V. Sonata for flute and piano. Piano score and part

Vyacheslav Kruglik was born in 1977. During the period of 1996–2001 he studied composition in the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatoire at professor Boris Tishchenko. His post-graduate education also continued in the St. Petersburg Conservatoire.

Kruglik takes part in different festivals over Russia and abroad. Among his compositions there are the opera “Carriage”, symphonies, string quartets, vocal cycles and other chamber-vocal opuses. Kruglik uses to practise in theatre music and instrumental arrangements for various casts. The Sonata for flute and piano is constructed as the traditional cycle of three movements. There is the distinct contradiction between the alarming impetuous first movement with its torn motives and the second movement — ponderable centre of the whole sonata. Here, in the second movement the atmosphere is getting gentle and silent, where the touching melody plunges listeners to the world of idyll and peace. The form may be defined as the synthesis of variations and three movements construction.

The Finale resembles some kind of reconciliation between two opposing personages, being the whole Sonata's contemplative philosophical epilogue.
