and postscript
Sonata in F, Op. 99 played by Douglas Cameron (cello) and John Wills. (piano)
If the cello has been neglected with regard to concertos, at least it has been rather better served in the way of - sonatas. particularly by the nineteenth-century composers. Brahms's Sonata No. 2 in F, composed in 1887, is a magnificent piece cf *\rituig. terse and dramatic in expression and concentrated in thought, and the entire range of the cello is exploited with telling effect. The piano part is no less big in design and the music contains a fair number of expression marks that require careful interpretation. '
