Chamber Music Piano SKU: PO.PEL11
Composed by Douglas Lilburn. Performance Score. Promethean Editions #PEL11. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PEL11). ISBN 9781776605514.
This volume comprises of Lilburn's four piano sonatas. The sonata in F sharp minor is a work of pure Romantic sensibility, while the sonata for piano in A minor reveals Lilburn's very sharply realised visual sense. There is a bracing, lyrical power to his 1949 sonata, the curve and grain of the music partaking of an impressive physical space. The second sonata, from 1956, provides an outstanding example of Lilburn's orchestration of piano colour and his sensitive balancing of tonal relationships.
