This Sonata begins with an Allegro ben moderato featuring a high melody played pianissimo in triple time. The piano comes to the fore in the second movement marked Allegro though it has a slower middlesection. A short 'Recitativo-Fantasia' has both instruments really integrating and playing off each other then fading to nothing whereas the last movement Allegretto poco mosso is loud and declamatory with a persistentmelody. This edition is edited by James Galway.
