Ponce's Sonata a Duo makes a good addition to the repertoire. Its modern and diversified harmonic palette allows for a wide spectrum of harmonic colors. From dark, highly dissonant and ambiguous progressions to transparent consonances, the Sonata's harmonic idiom is easily accessible to the tonally oriented ear. Furthermore, its Spanish Bair and impressionistic touches add an attractive, exotic appeal to it.
