andrevharen,
I really liked this sonata, particularly the lyrical second movement. I agree that there is still room for new romantic music. There's still room for all kinds of music, and in my opinion there always will be. I don't understand those who believe that the grand masters of tonal western classical music "discovered everything." If they mean they discovered all of the harmonies that are most closely related to a seven tone scale, then okay. But that's like saying they discovered all the colors of the rainbow. How those colors are arranged in a composition is infinite. It'd be like saying that some modern painter wasn't original because he used the color red, which had been used all throughout the renaissance, and beyond. What a silly thing to say, right? Welp, just wanted to say that to support your view, and good job on your sonata.
