Written in 1939 for the recorder player Carl Dolmetsch, it received its first performance at London’s Wigmore Hall on 18 November that year. Although originally conceived for recorder, the work later became particularly well known in its flute version, championed by Sir James Galway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sonatina is in three contrasting movements (Moderato, Adagio and Allegro moderato) combining graceful melodic writing with nimble passagework and rhythmic energy. Its concise form and characterful writing make it an appealing choice for advanced students and recital programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Schott Music edition, edited by Manuel Jacobs, may be performed on either treble recorder or flute with piano and includes the solo part and piano score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Lennox Berkeley\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Lennox Berkeley (1903–1989) was an English composer whose music is distinguished by its elegance, clarity and strong melodic character. His musical outlook was particularly influenced by French music and culture; after meeting Maurice Ravel, Berkeley was encouraged to study with the celebrated teacher Nadia Boulanger in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerkeley composed across a wide range of genres, including orchestral, chamber, instrumental, choral and operatic music. His style often combines a refined approach to harmony and texture with clear tonal foundations, reflecting influences from composers including Mozart, Ravel, Poulenc and Stravinsky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside his work as a composer, Berkeley became an important teacher and influential figure in twentieth-century British music, leaving a varied catalogue that continues to be performed and recorded today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60373299265870,"sku":"SCHOFB1040","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJwcmVzdG8tY292ZXItaW1hZ2VzIiwia2V5IjoiNzI4Njk5OS4xLmpwZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7InJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6NDMyfSwid2VicCI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo2NX0sInRvRm9ybWF0Ijoid2VicCJ9LCJ0aW1lc3RhbXA.webp?v=1786621561","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/berkeley-sonatina-op-13-for-treble-recorder-or-flute-and-piano","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
