	The Joachim Raff Society - Cello Sonata
		He wrote the Cello Sonata in D op.183 in Wiesbaden in 1873 and it was published by Siegel immediately.
		The Cello Sonata is no dry sterile academic piece but neither does it have the same fiery passion and lush sentimality of, say, the 1st.
		Overall, therefore, his single Cello Sonata may have seemed to critics to presage a diminution of Raff's compositional powers - a charge from which he unjustly suffered with the publication of the sixth and seventh Symphonies in the following years.

	Sonata
		In the classical period and afterwards, sonatas for piano solo were the most common genre of sonata, with sonatas for violin and piano and cello and piano being next.
		In this context, the current usage of the term "sonata" was established, both in terms of form, and in the sense that a full sonata is the normative example of concert music, which other forms are seen in relation to.
		The "sonata idea", as well as the term "sonata" continued to be central to musical analysis, and a strong influence on composers, both in large scale works and in chamber music.

		The piano sonatas of Scriabin would begin from standard forms of the late romantic period in music, but would progressively abandon the formal markers which were taught, and would be composed as single movement works, he is sometimes thought of as a composer on the boundary between romantic and modern practice of the sonata.

	Felix Draeseke's Chamber Music - Music for Cello - Cello Sonata in D op 51
		Although Elizabeth Cowling mentions 224 cello sonatas written during that period, only a handful are still played, and very few are available in modern editions [1].
		Like the two sonatas for viola and piano discussed in an August 1998 AST article, the cello compositions have been published by Wollenweber and recently recorded [3].
		At the climax the cello plays in a very high register, supported by the piano in the way vocal parts are often written and reminiscent of the Strauss Sonata in F Major.

		It (the Moeran) was written for Peers Coetmore, then the composer's fiance, later his wife and dedicatee of Moeran's absolutely superb cello concerto (her performance on an old Lyrita LP was one of the treasures of my vinyl collection).
		For those reasons and because the sonatas, whilst lovely, are slightly-less-than-top drawer compared to the very best works of all three composers, I've gone for a curmudgeonly (and possibly mean) four stars rather than five for a disc of interest, distinction and reward.
		This gives the sonata a rather bare and austere sound but there is no doubt as to the musical quality of the mind behind it.

	Classical Net - Bridge - Cello Sonata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Sonata in D minor for Cello and Piano, dated 1913-1917, is a two-movement work in which the second movement displays Bridge's great despair over the futility of war and the general state of the world.
		Marked by his usual technical fastidiousness and unerring taste, the Cello Sonata indicates that Bridge was beginning to open himself to a wider range of stylistic references.
		The entire sonata, with the chromaticism of the slow section and the aggressive tonal and bi-tonal colors in the scherzo, hints at his later style.

	Lera Auerbach Cello Sonata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Sonata starts with the violent and terrifying statement of the piano, full of inner-tension.
		The piano carries a column-like inescapable choral progression, while the cello’s lamenting monologue is free and deeply human.
		The image I had in mind was of reaching a point in life where one stands at the very edge of the abyss, when nothing is left of the past or of the future, and one is completely alone with his trembling soul.

		Cello Sonata No. 1 In E Minor Op.38: II.
		Their collaboration is an intense one, both in the dark, melancholy E minor work and in the passionate F major sonata, which receives a fulminant performance here, even if its scherzo sounds rather elephantine.
		Du Pré is quite rough much of the time, but her tone is huge and she wrings incredible expression out of every gesture; Barenboim is musically and sonically in the background, which under the circumstances is fine.

	Cello Sonata -Musical Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Moeran's experience and imagination need no demonstration, and his new Sonata for Cello and piano quite hides any difficulties he may have had in surmounting the demands mentioned.
		It is indeed one of his finest works - finer, perhaps, than more ambitious works, such as the G minor Symphony - for there is in each of its three movements that consistency of form and quality which a rhapsodic composer can hope to achieve only in his full maturity.
		Indeed, since Delius's Cello Sonata, there seems to have been no better work in the romantic and rhapsodic style that so well suits the cello, for the style of Rubbra's splendid sonata does not invite comparison with Moeran's.

	JUDD GREENSTEIN, works?
		The first movement of the Sonata for Cello and Piano presents the same two melodies, one in the cello and the other in the piano, again and again.
		Taken as a whole, the Sonata for Cello and Piano deals with memory, with the tension between living in one's memories and moving on in life, and with the realization that the only way to resolve that tension is to confront the reality of the present, however painful that may be.
		The three movements of the Sonata represent, in their own way, the past, present, and future, with all the complexities and interweavings that are inherent in our understanding of those temporal terms.

	Cello Sonata No. 1 (Brahms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cello sonata number 1 in E minor, opus 38 written by Johannes Brahms in 1862–5 has three movements:
		74, his interest in the fugue and the passacaglia (outside of organ music such as Josef Rheinberger's 8th sonata, fairly rare in the Romantic era), or in such pieces as the second string quartet's minuet, and this one.
		The opening theme, which bears a resemblance to one of the Contrapunctuses (Contrapuncti?) from the Kunst der Fuge, does develop fugally until into the G major second subject group, a section which is much more conventionally, if wonderfully, treated.

	Debussy Cello Sonata
		At the time of his death only three were completed - one for cello and piano, one for violin and piano and the sonata to be performed today.
		It is possible to draw a parallel between the beginning of I Pagliacci and the beginning of the Prologue of the Cello Sonata.
		When Debussy described the Cello Sonata to his publisher Jacques Durand he said, "the proportions are almost classical in form, the in the best sense of the word." In fact, the Prologue is in ABA form, the Sérénade serves as a Scherzo, and the Finale as a dance movement.

	Cello Sonata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This Sonata follows the Cello Concerto and, before that, the Prelude, in the trilogy of works Moeran wrote for his new wife, the cellist Peers Coetmore.
		It seemed initially that his next work for Peers, following the completion of the Sinfonietta would be the Cello Sonata, and work apparently started on this in February 1944, but then he turned to the Concerto, which was finished by the following year.
		The Sonata for Piano and Cello is the ultimate prize at the end of Moeran's long journey and apprenticeship, absorbing and rejecting and eventually crystallising a language and technique fit to express the deeply personal thought of what he knew to be his masterpiece.

		Cello Sonata in B minor; Hamabdil; Cello Sonata in F-sharp minor; Pibroch; Sonata in G minor for Solo Cello; Elegiac Poem
		These two sonatas for cello and piano, plus a never-before-seen solo cello suite, are a boon to cello fans, and Fuller and pianist Michael Dussek give listeners much to enjoy as they go right to the heart of Bantock's peculiar mix of English and German Classical sentiments.
		The two short works for cello and harp are really lovely fillers, somewhat closer to the aesthetic familiar in Bantock's orchestral music, with their meditative demeanor and elements of folk melody (Hebrew in one, Gaelic in the other).

		From the subtle quiet beginning passages of the Allegro non Troppo of Sonata # 1, to the exquisite tenderness and stunning pizzicato section of the Adagio Affettuoso of Sonata # 2, and on to its vigorous Allegro Molto finale, this is ardent, potent music, despite the limiting simplicity of being for just two instruments.
		The cello is one of my favorite instruments (along with the piano and the harp), and I favor Brahms' soul.
		I have always prefered this recording of the Brahms Cello Sonatas by Ma and Ax to their one on Sony.

		Mischa Maisky and the Orpheus CO give a robust account of the Concerto with plenty of vim and attack; the finale is particularly thrilling while the graceful cantabile minuet central section is all elegance and romantic refinement.
		Its Sérénade has the cello noble melancholic wandering around an engaging highly-decorated, rustic folk dance/waltz ; the gavotte is sturdy and assertive while the Romance is sentimental with bird-song like orchestral accompaniment.
		His Cello Sonata vents his pent-up emotions and the antagonism is felt by both the piano and cello in the outer movements and to a lesser extent in the central Andante.

		The first movement of the Sonata for Cello and Piano is in "sonata-allegro" form.

		As they share their musical expression of the material, they grow and learn from each other and are both changed.

	Classical Net - Delius - Cello Sonata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Cello Sonata, written in 1916 for Beatrice Harrison and first performed by her in 1918, is cast in one movement with three sections - Allegro ma non troppo; Lento, molto tranquillo; Tempo primo.
		It is very much a showpiece for the cello, having scarcely a pause anywhere, with a slow middle section contrasting with the flow of rhapsodic melody in the outer parts.
		The work opens with a big sweep of cello melody which provides the material for much of the piece, followed shortly by the piano's only solo in this work, a six-bar phrase in octaves.
