The Twentieth Century Piano Sonata

A shared recital presented by our two Kawai Bursary winners, Mickey Glen Tomas (Piano) and Peter Ryan (Piano).

This recital features two examples of the Twentieth-Century Piano Sonata, composed almost fifty years apart.   Prokofiev’s seventh sonata is a giant of the piano literature, composed in 1942, one of his three ‘war sonatas’.

Australian composer Carl Vine’s first sonata was composed in 1990.  It presents a snapshot of late twentieth-century style with sharp contrast between overt virtuosity and contemplative improvisation.
