Chromatic Fantasy Sonata, inspired by J.S. Bach, for piano (incorporating the BACH motif)

It is probably not too far afield to posit Milhaud and J.S. Bach as Brubeck’s most influential classical composers. While Glances is Dave’s most Milhaud-inspired piece, Chromatic Fantasy Sonata is surely his most Bachian. It is true that Brubeck’s earlier works like two-part Contention and Brandenburg Gate, pay tribute to the Baroque master. But Chromatic Fantasy Sonata with its reverences to Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia & Fugue in D minor ( BWV 903) and use of chorale (2nd movement), fugue (3rd movement), and chaconne (4th movement) reveal and indebtedness to Bach surely unique in Brubeck’s output. As if we needed any more proof, clear quotations of the B-A-C-H motif (the German names of the notes B-flat, A, C. and B-natural) emerge in the “Allegro motto” movement returning (often in altered inversion) in subsequent movement”.
