I completed the edit of the flute sonatina’s 1^st movement today and published it.  The edit took a lot longer than expected as it was very hard keep things like dynamics, note spellings, and phrasing consistent.  I think that the Hindemith style didn’t help this!  Thankfully, I had Louise on hand to advise and check things through.  She seems to like it (which is the main thing!).  Anyway, when I have completed the whole sonatina, Louise and I plan to perform it – probably early next year.  I hope to perform some other pieces I am writing for Louise along with an arrangement of Danse Macabre for piano duet.  The sonatina will have to take a back seat for a while whilst I complete more pressing commission such as the oboe sonatina, the flute concerto’s 3^rd movement, a party piece, a Christmas carol, and the missa brevis.  When I have completed, the sonatina (and if I am happy with it) I might use it towards my degree.

The Agnus Dei of the Missa Brevis was completed a while ago and I had intended to hold off publishing it until the whole mass was completed.  However, owing to the interest that people have shown, and the fact that I haven’t worked on it in ages, I shall try and publish the completed movement next week.
