Music commentary
The sonatina of the three movements are also formed in the form of Allegro movement-Largo movement-Very Allegro movement. Although the title is "Sonatina", it also requires a certain level of playing skills to be competent.

What is special is that its rhythm changes. For example: The first movement is the Allegro. The first measure starts at 3/4 beat, but at the second measure it immediately changes to 5/8 beat, and at the 6th measure it returns to 3/4 beat, so the player must be able to master The time value of this "abnormal beat".

The second movement is the 7/8 beat of the Adagio. Although the whole movement does not use the "abnormal beat", in the middle section, the speed of the eighth note 84is changed to the speed of 112. You still need to master the changes.

The third movement uses the rare 2.5/4 tempo. At the speed of the quarter note 132, it is necessary to grasp the time value in units of one measure.

These designs actually give players and audiences a more modern sense of music rhythm. Different from the classical music, its constant and continuous sense of time.
