Notes

Henri Dutilleux’s Piano Sonata (1947–1948) was his only piano sonata. It is dedicated to and was premiered by his wife Geneviève Joy on 30 April 1948. The Piano Sonata has since become one of the most acclaimed post-World War II works in the genre and has been championed by major pianists such as John Ogdon, Robert Levin, John Chen and Claire-Marie Le Guay.
