Cello Sonata (Parry)
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (July 2017) |
The Sonata for Violoncello and Piano in A major by Hubert Parry is a sonata for cello and piano composed between 1879 and 1880, but not published until 1883.[1]
Background
Hubert Parry began work on the Cello Sonata in 1879 shortly after he completed his Piano Quartet. Intended for French Cellist Jules-Bernard Lasserre, the work was not finished until early 1880. Despite a successful premiere on the 12th of February 1880, Parry was dissatisfied with the work and revised it extensively before publication by Novello in 1883 with a dedication to Lasserre.[1]
Structure
The composition is in three movements:
- Allegro
- Andante
- Maestoso - Allegro
Typical performances take around 25 - 26 minutes.
