Of the three sonatinas written by Beethoven the Sonatina in G is the most accessible appealing and successful. It is a light-hearted two-movement sonatina which remains almost entirely in the key of G. The B section of the second movement opens in the dominant key of D providing harmonic motion coupled with beautiful melodic motion in the right hand. Beethoven's craftsmanship is evident in the coda to this movement. Here the opening motif is used to settle expressively on the E-minor chord recalling the E-minor harmony of the third measure. This provides structural balance and harmonic interest. The Pianist can accentuate this moment by playing the first section of thecoda softly and unhurriedly.

I first heard Walton's Viola Concerto in my youth and the mixture of haunting sadness and exuberance won me over immediately. Although other composers have written works for the instrument they are seldom played and the viola remains under regarded and unappreciated as do viola players! Having recently composed a number of cello pieces culminating in my 'Umbrian Variations' for eight cellos I decided to try my hand at something else the result:- this Sonatina for Viola and Piano. Last year (2009) at Ian Christians' Dordogne Chateau the Quator Wihan gave a concert and I was very struck by the viola playing of Jiri Zigmund - hence the dedication.

Towards the end of the 18th century Clementi increasingly advocated the piano as the successor to the harpsichord. He composed expressly for the new instrument and in 1801 published a piano school. His interest in teaching isalso shown by the ?Six progressive Sonatinas? op. 36 - six sonatinas in ascending order of diffi culty which are still extremely popular with today's piano teachers. Our Urtext edition follows the long established practice ofusing the musical text of the first edition from 1797. Clementi?s original fingering which is surprisingly modern has been included throughout the work.

The American modernist composer George Antheil was known in his time for his 'futuristic' compositions and is now regarded as one of the first composers to go 'beyond Stravinsky' in sound experimentation. These four ViolinSonatas and one Sonatina use devices such as tone clusters complex irrational meters additive silence and timbral distortion. They are not only an often-overlooked part of musical history but are also excellent pieces in theirown right; challenging yet rewarding to play.
