Classical Caber: “Sonata for Flute and Piano”
Like any artist, Dirk’s style has changed over time as his skills have grown and matured. The pieces I’ve posted so far have been some of Dirk’s older works; his rag, for example, dates back to when he was 16, and the Mount Desert Island Suite is already about 12 years old. In fact, just last week Dirk asked me why I was posting his older stuff. “I want people to hear what my style sounds like now,” he explained. With that in mind, I’m happy to share with you the 4th movement of his Sonata for Flute and Piano, completed in 2011. Here is Dirk’s take on piece:

Perhaps down the road I’ll post the other three movements of the Sonata, or Dirk might even release it on iTunes. (I’m happy to say we’re making some good progress with getting that set up.) But for now, please enjoy the 4th movement. Dirk and I hope it puts a little smile on your face too!
A fine composition. I really like it and hope to hear the other movements. I’ll be listening to this again soon. Have you written any compositions for Alto Recorder? Recorder players need excellent compositions.
GREAT SOUND!!
I’ve listened to all the work of Dirk and I love them all.
Such a great talent – please keep going on to release the musik pieces on itunes I will buy them!!
If Dirk will ever play a concert near my home I will come and listen!!

Really beautiful talent! 😀

Wow. I’ve never really given classical music a chance growing up mostly on massachusetts hardcore (punk not porn) but its great to get lost in these pieces you put up. This is some next level shit.
Delightful music and music making. And a fine sounding recording. I hope Dirk soon gets a chance to pursue and use his impressive musical talents.
Thank you so much for sharing this , Jesse.
Dirk is talented at so many things. I love listening to these pieces you post. Hope you are successful getting it out on ITunes. 🙂
There is a playfulness as well as an intensity in this that delights the senses. I’d be very surprise if the composer doesn’t move to scoring the soundtracks for some film work. He is definitely a Jack of All Trades and a true Renaissance Man.
Reminds me a lot of Rampal and Ludwig!! Very cool!
