Work introduction
This sonata is one of my earlies compositions. I composed it when I was six. And I'm making it available now (thirteen years later) in the hope that maybe other young people would like to play it. I left the first movement (Moderato) and the third movement (Allegro Vivace) exactly as I wrote them. But the second movement (Fantasia) seemed to me far too long and rambling, so I shortened and simplified it here. Notes in brackets can be omitted if it makes it easier to play.
