Compositions:
Sonata for guitar ( ca. 24 min ) 26 pages

"This is modern but approachable and extremly complex in its use of multiple speeds and rhythms but is nevertheless a serious Sonata in every sense of the word. This extensive work is definitely only for the advanced players among you but is one that a good player would get much from."
(Classical Guitar11/2004)
