Piano Sonata No. 2 in A flat first performance
† played by THE COMPOSER
This second piano sonata Is a major work, as was the first which was composed exactly twenty years ago. It is in three extended movements: an opening theme is extensively used, and crowns the work triumphantly at the end of the final perpetuum mobile.
The central movement is dedicated to the memory of Christopher Hassall , who died two years ago, and had collaborated with the composer on several vocal works. including Voices of Night and Genesis, and the BBC-commisstoned opera Anna Kraus. Short Quotations from the last two appear in the sonata, almost subconsciously.
by Michael Hoskin, Lecturer in the History of Science, University of Cambridge
On August 29. 1864, William Huggins turned the telescope of his Tulse Hill observatory towards the constellation Draco. What he saw that night resolved a major scientific controversy, with remarkable efficiency.
