Born in London, York Bowen, whose suite, ' At the Play ', is to be played this morning, studied composition and the pianoforte at the Royal Academy of Music. Long ago recognised as a pianist of brilliant attainments, he is also a gifted composer. His own instrument has naturally been generously treated with three concertos and many smaller pieces, but he has done notable work for the orchestra, too.

Beethoven's pianoforte sonata in E major, Op. 109, is dedicated to Maximiliane Brentano, the niece of Bettina von Arnim , whom the composer met in Vienna in 1810. Composed in 1820, it belongs to what is known as Beethoven's third period, and many qualities of the music anticipate the romantic inventions of his successors.
The slow movement of this sonata is particularly beautiful, and it has been described by Sir Henry Hadow as being derived from ' some ideal world beyond the heavens
