Played by JOHN PETRIE DUNN
Sonata in A Flat (Op. 110), First and Second
Movements.
HERE are many moods, all of them expressed witli wonderful power, and most of them immediately appreciable by anyone.
The FIRST MOVEMENT sings its benignant way in gentle grace, with engaging little touches of ornamentation.
The SECOND MOVEMENT is all brisk, almost brusque determination, as of a person who obviously knows where he is going, and exactly how to get there. It is spare, taut, cleanly energetic music.
