“During two years of study in Rome, with Petrassi at the Conservatorio di Santa, I had scholarships to attend the famous summer school at the Academia Chigiana in Siena. During the second one in 1955, this sonata was composed in the space of ten days and performed by the New York pianist Leonard Mastrogiacomo (first two movements) and his fiancee Eleanor (last movement). The same two pianists performed the work in Rome shortly afterwards.”

The Sonata has been performed by Gordon Watson, Malcolm Binns ad Margaret Kitchin on the BBC.

The first movement of this symphony opens quietly with a number of ideas in which the melodic interval of a fifth has some prominence. A faster section follows and the development of these ideas leads to climaxes with patterns of diverse rhythms superimposed. After the final climax the movement subsides to a quiet ending.

The second movement has the character of a Scherzo. Lively rhythms alternating between 6/8 and 3/4 lead to a quieter sustained “trio” tune. The scherzo resumes and takes the music to a climax where these two ideas are presented together – the faster one (violins and trumpets) across the slower (horns and trombones). The music unwinds until we are left with a fragment of the slower theme, which becomes a link to the third movement.

The finale has the form of a free passacaglia. It grows out of the opening trumpet tune and its accompaniment – the trumpet tune becomes the passacaglia bass, while the stepwise bass takes over as melody. At the end of the movement a reference back to the melodic falling fifths of the first movement leads to the final chord – fading from brass to wind, and in the end, to strings alone.
