Composed at the commission of the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki, and premiered by Ms. Yuko Yamaoka at its 30th-anniversary concert. As noted in the score, "spiritually much influenced by Beethoven's Sonata Op. 109," it shares a musical structure with the same work, employing a cyclic theme that skillfully uses the first movement's subject to achieve close connections and development across each movement.

First Movement (approx. 4 min)

A concise sonata form, with a vivid contrast between the two themes: Agitato and Adagio.

Second Movement (approx. 3 min)

A rapid toccata, Allegro ritmico, utilizing the Agitato theme from the first movement.

Third Movement (approx. 9 min)

A free set of variations on the Adagio theme from the first movement.
