Wow, this Sonata is a hidden gem! I have only heard of the name of the composer and never heard the piece, but I absolutely loved the whole 4 movements, especially the first one and the third one. I am also not familiar with Thrax. I love the idea of your channel. I hope many more people will subscribe to your new channel.
Maybe it’s not written by someone with a bigger reputation, but I feel like this deserves all that credit and more. It is really hard to find such a touching piece and this played it so well.❤
And viola players. This is standard repertoire for us when growing up and learning. I have a feeling that it was originally written for an instrument of a lower register because of what the piano accompaniment is doing.... and also the top Bb (second note of the piece!) just sounds a little too shrill for my ears. The movement is a grave. It doesn't have to be low (Bach wrote higher registered graves) .... but when the viola or cello plays it... it just sounds right.
@@liamnevilleviolist1809It's also standard repertoire for classical alto saxophone (stemming from Sigurd Rascher). It was originally in a violin sonata publication, but it's questionable that it was even written by Henry Eccles in the first place according to a IMSLP comment.
@@km6206 That's interesting. I can believe it started out as a violin sonata (or other instrument) and it's interesting that it's perhaps not by Eccles.
I have heard the cello arrangement many times, which was played by my older sister in high school. The piece is very Italianate in manner and style; I actually believed it was an early Romantic work when looking back on it. However, like many baroque/early Classical sonatas, one of the instruments is for purely accompaniment purposes, this time unusually the keyboard (which is weird, now that I think about it). The modulations are signature baroque. I love this work!
That Others Instruments are purely for accompaniment is even normal for early romantic pieces by italian compisers. Paganini for example used the baroque ritornell form for his first movements in His concertos.
As I posted in a reply below: I have a feeling that it was originally written for an instrument of a lower register because of what the piano accompaniment is doing.... and also the top Bb (second note of the piece!) just sounds a little too shrill for my ears.
