I wrote this in 20 minutes. I think it is the best movement in the piece. I suggest playing it twice, it's short.

Much longer 3rd movement. Someone said, "You can't see the sunset on the east coast!". You can if your on Cape Cod on the bay side looking at Plymouth and Provincetown. Basically this pieces images are Late Aftermnoon around 4 when one's energy is low. Then Zephyr, a breeze in the trees as one walks to the bay. Atlantic Sunset with the blazing reds and oranges, the ripples on the nearby water slight repeats of both earlier movements and a Sunset finish. One holds down certain notes before the pedal is released to give an "afterglow".

I've been told this wasn't a sonata, but here in this century we can do anything we want, right? Three movements, development in 1st and 3rd movements. Whatever was invented in the 3rd movement was forshadowed in the 1st. Same goes the other way around. The middle section is the very first piece of music I wrote while sitting at the table rather than hammering it out at the piano. I think it's the best part of the piece and I suggest it be played twice.
a fabulous pianist and composer opened up my world when he said I didn't have to be able to play the music, I had to write it and let him play it, he could play anything. He's a Boston Conservatory now. John Zielinski. You can hear him on the sound sample

I enjoyed listening to about 3 minutes of your piece 'Atlantic Sunset' and I also read your explanation of and inspiration for the piece. There's a lot of movement in the music, I like that and its touchy, feellyness. There seems to be elements of calm and of a storm brewing in my view.
All the best,
Anthony
