Sonata No. 6 in f sharp minor, mvt. 3 - Vivace Agitato
Here it is, the finale to this piano sonata. It's a pretty good one too. I strongly recommend you listen through the prior two movements at the same time, as it is all one piece. A music theoretical, in depth walk-through of the movement follows.
It begins akin to the first movement, with the repeated notes motif, but then soon diverges into its own thing. The intro builds to the main theme of this piece, which is in a sort of pseudo-rondo form, and as the title suggests, lively and somewhat agitated. From here we hear some of the main theme material for this piece, all of which will be used later. In this beginning section, we are given a taste of the feel of this piece, which in its 12/8 character, goes back and forth between the dramatic and the light staccato sections. Eventually this falls back to a slower, mellow section: intended to provide some relief from the fast paced tempos we've seen throughout the sonata so far. This builds again, and eventually modulates back into f sharp minor for the start of a fugue on one of the earlier themes. The fugue is the main point of this piece, and in it we find some really nice counterpoint, and some recurrence and variation of the earlier themes. There's some cool variations on the fugue subject here, some of which may take multiple listens to fully understand. Notable among these is the juxtaposition of the main theme of the pseudo-rondo played and the fugue subject, which I think sounds pretty cool. Eventually, the fugue fades out, and the piece builds toward the triumphant ending. For the first time, this sonata of mine actually ends in major, although the final chord is not a major chord. Rather, using some sustain pedal, by the last strike of the keys, every B, C# and F# between the outer most F#'s has been sounded, creating some really nice overtone harmonies. In particular, listen for the g# (supertonic) in the last chord which is not ever played as a note, but is still audible as part of the overtone series.
Don't worry if you don't understand that stuff; I'm just happy as long as you enjoy it :3 For those keeping track of the cameos, both the third and fifth sonata ones can be found in this movement.

Gotta say, I don't think I could do this justice with my mediocre piano skills. But when I go to the RNCM there may be pianists there who would be interested in playing some new and original music, if you wanted, I could see if any wanted to make a proper recording for you, if you sent the sheet music over.
