The Sonatina is a good piece in which to explore polytonality and chromaticism, with a lyrical first movement, a somewhat somber, expressive slow movement, and a brilliant final movement, full of rhythmic vitality.
This short piece is a good introduction to French Conservatory style literature, incorporating lyrical style and tempo changes typical of the period without the technical demands of the Morceau de Concours by Faure.
The piece is an example of the 19th century bravura style with theme and variations.

However, we do have a list of pieces from the past 35 years that have all had profound impacts on somebody other than the composers.
The size and variety of the list makes quite a statement about the diversity of our languages and the sheer number of ways to touch an audience, for those who question the communicative powers of new music.
And yet, as long as the list is, anyone at all familiar with new music could easily add a few equally deserving titles.

David moved on to Christ Church at Oxford University in 1972, to study French and German and also began to sing on a regular basis, initially vying with the visiting ladies in the College Choir for the top notes, but eventually settling on alto as his preferred range.
At Oxford he met lots of great musicians, two of whom had important influences on his compositional style: Chris Benson, who introduced him to the beauties of the cello and also of the Beatles and the guitarist Gerald Garcia, with whom he played the odd duet from time to time.
His music (including some of his most romantic pieces for cello) continued to develop during his brief language teaching jobs in Strasbourg and Oakham but he finally decided to leave teaching, joined the Civil Service, and moved to London.

Munich Piano Trio, Leopolder-Quartett München, Wolfgang Sawallisch (piano).
Gould's 1985 pieces reflect an American's view of China rather than any use of Chinese idioms or melodies; Diamond's two brief sonatinas (1935 and 1987) are neo-classical gems; Bloch's Poems of the Sea has been recorded in its symphonic format but in the piano version, their Impressionist influence is clearer still.
These pieces all demonstrate a tremendous awareness of sonority - perhaps to be expected - but also, of the function of harmony and melody, and piano technique, to produce mellifluous and appealing sounds.

 Tonalsoft Encyclopaedia of Tuning -- chronological list of works of Alois Hába, (c)1999 by Joe Monzo
He was drafted into the Austrian Army in 1915, went to the Russian front, to the Italian front in 1917, and then to Vienna in early 1918, where he was assigned the collection of Slovakian soldier's songs.
An important event was Hába's attendance of a lecture by Adriaan Fokker at the International Society of Contemporary Music in 1948; under the influence of this, he engaged in a long study of the fifth-tone (31-tET) system, finally using it in his 16th Quartet in 1967.
Hába's earliest published microtonal piece was the 2nd Quartet (1920) and last was apparently the 16th Quartet (1967).
