The Sonata for Violoncello and Piano in A major by Hubert Parry is a sonata for cello and piano composed between 1879 and 1880, but not published until 1883.^[1]

Background[]

Hubert Parry began work on the Cello Sonata in 1879 shortly after he completed his Piano Quintet. Intended for French Cellist Jules-Bernard Lasserre, the work was not finished until early 1880. Despite a successful premiere on the 12th of February 1880, Parry was dissatisfied with the work and revised it extensively before publication by Novello in 1883 with a dedication to Lasserre.^[1]

Structure[]

The composition is in three movements:

1. Allegro
2. Andante
3. Maestoso - Allegro

Typical performances take around 25 - 26 minutes.
