In one very tight sweep, there are three easily discernible sections – fast, slow, very fast. The language is polychromatic & highly original. The most striking characteristics lie in the surprising lyricism of the slow movement, and in the relentless rhythmic energy of the surrounding sections. The outer movements display a volatility, which pay testament to the composer’s strong background in fusion/percussion music.
(Note by M.K. Harvey)

Piano Sonata No. I was commissioned by Michael Kieran Harvey & was premiered by him at the 1998 Sydney Festival.
