Haydn Symphony No 49, in F minor (La Passione)

Walton Sonata for string orchestra

Sir Lennox Berkeley says:
'Walton's Sonata for string orchestra is actually an adaptation of his much earlier String Quartet. It was suggested to Sir William that the Quartet, with its characteristically vigorous rhythms, would be ideally suited to the greater amplitude of sound that a body of strings would provide. In the event, much of it needed little rearrangement, and this new version completely justifies the fresh approach for me.'
