ROY AGNEW is a young British composer whose works have for some years claimed serious attention. His native city is Sydney, Australia, and he first came to this country in 1923. Previous to this Moiseiwitch had popularized here some of his earlier works, such as the ' Dance of the Wild Men.' In May, 1924, he took an important part in the late Mr. Philip Wilson 's broadcast programme of Modern Australian Chamber Music, one of his first appearariees in England.
This Sonata is a particularly interesting example of his later work, for it has marked individuality. It contains bold tunes, surging rhythms, and ends with a powerful climax.
