...premise of Aliens, its emotional essence, is contained in the smaller picture: a woman, her formerly unacknowledged maternal instinct raised to full inner scream by exotic and terrifying circumstances, takes a frightened child into desperately protective custody. The payoff is in the large photo: the climactic confrontation between this woman and her chief tormentor, leader of the alien monsters and -- ironically, grotesquely -- a single mom herself.

Still, taken on its own terms, the sonata is musically coherent and surprisingly lyrical, especially the Andante Molto second movement, which resembles more than faintly the slow movement of the composer's celebrated A-minor concerto...
