Sonata for Flute and Piano consists of two movements, which treat the same material in emotionally opposite ways. Both movements begin in D Dorian, but the first, "Depressive", heads flatwards toward the Locrian mode, and "Manic" heads sharp toward Lydian. "Depressive" is a fairly straightforward sonata form in which the development becomes increasingly violent before collapsing into an attenuated recapitulation which dies out in a statement of the first theme in quarter-tone diminution. "Manic" is a rondo that starts silly and gets sillier, picking up a little Latin flavor before the last unstable iteration of the main theme in 11/16.
