Sowerby
Sonata
I recently picked up a copy of the
cello/piano sonata by Leo Sowerby. Finally played through it last
night. It's a pretty piece, not toooo hard in either part, but it
won't replace the Beethoven / Mendelssohn / Brahms / Rachmaninov
core of our sonata repertoire.
It was written c. 1920.
Tonal, impressionistic. If I was hearing it without knowing who the
composer was I would have guessed Delius.

Sowerby Trivia
Leo Sowerby was my (childhood)
choirmaster's son's godfather. At my choir now, every time we do a
Sowerby was taken a little aback when my friend (from choir, all
through childhood) pointed out that she knew someone to whom he
really WAS "Uncle Leo" (or something close, anyway).
Maybe
I'm too close, but I thought it was an amusing story, anyway.
