Douglas Lilburn  

Sonata 1950

Duration: 12' 00" Year: 1950
for violin and piano

• Programme Note

  The Sonata for Violin and Piano is in one movement of five contrasting sections. It dates from 1950 and was composed for two well-known musicians: the violinist was Ruth Pearl, from England, who had settled here shortly after the Second World War and was for some time the leader of the Lindsay String Orchestra; and pianist was Frederick Page, for many years professor of Music at Victoria University. These artists performed the work throughout New Zealand and took it on tour for the Chamber Music Federation. Even now it remains the one sonata for violin and piano by a New Zealand composer that is heard with any frequency.
