	After the final notes of the magnificent third movement, the listener is left with the illusion that this is only the end of our perception of the work but that the sonata has a life of its own and will continue, unperceived, eternally. In relatively few notes, Copland created a complex work, sometimes beautiful, sometimes humorous, sometimes grotesque, which reveals more of itself upon each hearing. It is, quite simply, a masterpiece by the greatest American composer in history, and a landmark of its genre in 20th-century music.
