'Femboy Sonata' in C Major

This piece, the Femboy Sonata, is a piece I personally believe to be the magnum opus of my keyboard works, next to the Prelude and Fantasy in released back when I put up Nova. This piece was conceptualized long before I composed it. A long time before making it, I was playing around on the keyboard, and stumbled across something I liked. Two other somethings, even further beforehand discovered on piano, comprised the themes for the second and third movements. The first movement is primarily an Allegretto, the second movement is primarily an Adagio, and the final movement is an Allegrissimo. Each of these is in C Major, which I refer to as the key of purity, feminity, and womanliness, which is rather fitting for the nature of this sonata. The reason for my writing this sonata is because I wanted to sum up, with piano, what I feel are the prominent and important characteristics of being a femboy. I wrote this shortly after having started to identify as a femboy, but something about how I always was naturally gave me a more deep and unique understanding of the identity. I would like to stress, so no one gets the wrong idea, that I am not gay or bi, but rather, straight. The first movement, the Allegretto, starts off with the theme of a loud chord, followed by a descending trill of sorts. The theme is then altered and repeated, and variations ensue until it restates the theme, its alterations, and variations. This theme establishes two constrasting values: boldness and gentleness, always conflicting and alternating. After the repeat, the second theme ensues, using trills and variations to expand upon the original theme's values. The section ends, repeats, and then, the original theme emerges once more, more loud and prominent. The theme continues with slight variation, until it concludes with a slowing version of the first variation of the theme, a glissando to the end of the keys, and a bold chord at the end. The next movement, the Adagio, focuses much more on the more tender aspects of the sonata and its nature. There are two ways to play this, either with the hands crossed (playing what would be for the right hand with the left, and vice versa) or normally. This alludes to crossdressing, which, whilst important to being a femboy, isn't a prerequisite. The primary theme, only a few note long (six for the major part), is very heavily repeated throughout the second movement, often being either doubled or accompanied by variations or different parts of the original. Alongside the prominent theme is heavy use of glissandi and arpeggiated chords. The primary theme establishes the values of womanliness and love, as the arpeggios and glissandi represent gaiety (not homosexuality, gaiety in the old sense of the word, bliss). The movement goes with glissandi and repetition of the theme for a while, and then it returns to a faster paced variation of the beginning of the movement. This continues until it progresses on one hand up the keys to the upper end of the keyboard, whilst the other hand goes up and down the keyboard, as it has for most of the movement. The movement ends with the arpeggiation returning, ascending gradually up about half the keyboard, before reaching the top, and ending with a similar (but quieter) chord to the first movement. The third and final movement, the Allegrissimo, is quick and vibrant. Its two values are flamboyance and, for the lack of a better term, joie de vivre. It alternates between the simple and the bold for the whole movement, solely focused on variations of a single theme, before energetically ascending the keys and ending on a flashy chord akin to the end of the first movement. It is the shortest of the movements, being about a quarter the length of the others, but it sums up the sonata nicely before bringing the Femboy Sonata to its close. Almost two years of learning on my own through trial and error, months of compositional deliberation, over a month of composition, weeks of fine tuning... all this went into this work, and I consider myself proud to have made it, and further, on a subject close to heart.
