Violin Sonata, Op. 28 (Coleridge-Taylor)
Movements
i Allegro ma non tanto, ii Larghetto, iii Allegro vivo con fuoco
Notes
The Violin Sonata of 1897 found a posthumous champion in Albert Sammons, who must surely have relished its naive charm. Both outer movements nod approvingly towards Dvovák and Grieg in their outdoor modality (some will find the writing uncomplicated to a fault), while the central Larghetto emerges as a cross between the ‘Berceuse’ from Dolly and Salut d’amour.
