Abramsky - Sonata in 4 Movements - I. Allegro moderato

Measures 1–33: A quiet chordal call alternates with small grace-note responses and a chromatic lower line. Held upper notes and inner rhythmic figures lead to a crescendo, then five-, seven- and four-note groups. The phrase diminishes before the next tempo change.
Measures 34–60: Molto più mosso introduces a more animated exchange across the registers. Held tones, changing upper intervals and lower chromatic sweeps expand into a compound-pulse passage. A quieter melodic exchange leads through non-legato figures to an ascending connection.
Measures 61–90: Tempo I briefly recalls the opening call and includes a silent bar. The Più mosso section begins with a pianissimo interval melody; lower triplet figures and sustained notes gradually join it. Rising register and a crescendo broaden the texture before it subsides.
Measures 91–117: The compound-pulse material returns with upper duplet phrasing over a flowing lower line. Further exchanges between melody, inner notes and bass lead to a marked chromatic passage and a Poco più mosso continuation. A slowing, quieter response prepares the return.
Measures 118–165: Come primo recalls the earlier melodic and ornamental figures, now with altered pitches and a new flat signature. The animated exchange returns, followed by lower chromatic sweeps, independently phrased melodic lines and another rising transition.
Measures 166–185: Tempo I reappears in fuller chords. Shorter melodic replies and a seven-note ascent lead to more emphatic statements, then longer non-legato phrases with an accelerando. The chromatic line diminishes and slows toward the next section.
Measures 186–200: Vivo interlocks a flowing line with an independently grouped upper part and sustained bass tones. A crescendo and accelerating ascent give way to a quiet passage marked non ritardando. The Lento ending recalls the small melodic fragment above detached low replies, then holds a final tied note under fermatas.
