Other Information This sonata, dated 1961, was started when I was still at school and completed during my first years at college, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. In March 2020 (during the coronavirus pandemic!) the manuscript was unearthed and has been faithfully copied, even down to the layout in its smallest details, some of which have proved something of a challenge to replicate on computer! One of my set works for Highers was the Mozart K488 piano concerto, while one of the college set works was the Berg violin concerto, so it is perhaps not surprising that the work starts in Mozartian style and finishes with a tone row! The sound file for this entry is of the first movement, which lasts a little over 11 minutes. The other three movements are listed together under the next entry, in total another 9 minutes, with the last Allegro a Webern-short movement taking just a minute. All four movements are covered by the full score listed in the entry for movements 2-4.
