{"product_id":"alwyn-sonatina-vln-pno-s-b","title":"Alwyn Sonatina Vln\/Pno S\u0026B","description":"for Violin and Piano.\r\n\r\n******************************************************\r\n\r\nBest known as the composer of classic film scores including \u003ci\u003eThe History of Mr Polly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Winslow Boy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Night to Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, William Alwyn (1905-1985) also wrote symphonies, concertos and fluently idiomatic chamber music, of which this attractive Sonatina for violin and piano is a fine example.\r\n\r\nLasting around 12 minutes, and bearing the Alwyn hallmarks of rich, romantic harmony and vigorous, expressive line, it follows a traditional plan, opening with a flowing sonata first-movement both thoughtful and preludial in character. An introspective Adagio strikes a deeper note before a rousing finale, cast in the stirring rhythms of waltz and syncopated gigue, closes the work with a flourish.\r\n\r\nThough premiered at the Royal Academy of Music in 1935, the Sonatina remained unpublished for 75 years, coming to wider notice in a recent recording by Madeleine Mitchell and Andrew Ball on the Naxos label. Violinists of Grades 7 to 8 standard or above will welcome this new work from the pen of an important 20th-century British composer, whose technical command of the medium will be immediately apparent.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45724337570102,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/9402\/3478\/products\/STAH471_1.jpg?v=1695872394","url":"https:\/\/southlondonmusicshop.co.uk\/products\/alwyn-sonatina-vln-pno-s-b","provider":"South London Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
