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.

Already known from his previous score, Musical Escapades, James Welburn is presenting us with his new collection: a collection of waltzes. Balancing between the romantism and tenderness of Chopin and the flamboyance of a Vienesse waltz, James manages to conjure his most tuneful and memorable moments in these pieces. 3 of the pieces are inspired and named after three capital cities near the Baltic sea.

Composed by Douglas Lilburn. Performance Score. Promethean Editions #PEL12. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PEL12).

ISBN 9781776605521.

This volume contains Lilburn's two piano sonatinas. Sonatina No.1 (1946) combines geometric patterning of classical forms with the distinctive simplicity of colour and line that the composer so admired in the work of the regionalist painters. The first movement hymns a fundamental vitality ‚Äì a fresh start in the morning land that is New Zealand; an almost geological majesty pervades the second movement and a three-note motive sets the finale in motion. Composed in the Autumn of 1962, Sonatina No.2, together with Symphony No.3, provides the fullest expression of Lilburn's last notated music before he turned to the electroacoustic medium. Spare, elegant and eloquent, both the sonatina and the symphony are rich and distinctive works that maintain a tension that keeps them taut as cords in our collective memory. Although the pianists who know the sonatina so well from the inside talk of its subtleties, beauty, delicacy and meaning, it will always be a work of immediate appeal, a work that is as much a delight to listen to as to play, a work that can be enjoyed as pure music.

The composition was inspired by the sculpture La Meditation by Auguste Rodin which the composer came into contact with during an exhibition at the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Rilke wrote about this sculpture: never before has a human body been concentrated like this around its inner essence never before has it been strained like this by its own soul and eased again by the elasticity of its own blood.
