Music
As a composer, Walker's music has been influenced by a wide variety of musical genres. Unwilling to conform to a specific style, Walker drew from his diverse knowledge of previous music to create something which he could call his own. While a work such as Spatials for Piano uses twelve-tone serial techniques, Walker also wrote music in more of a pop style such as his song Leaving. Traces of old black spirituals can also be found in his second Sonata for violin and piano. Walker's advanced piano technique is also reflected in his works, such as his Piano Sonata No.2. His second sonata, which contains changing meters, syncopation, and bi-tonal writing presents great challenges for a performer to overcome.
