Overview
The four works in today’s programme span a period of 220 years. Mozart’s 9th piano sonata was written during his stay in Augsburg and Mannheim in 1777; Schubert’s Impromptus D935 were published posthumously in 1839; Prokofiev’s Opus 84 is the third of the ‘Three War Sonatas’, composed in 1939; and Knussen’s Prayer Bell Sketch is a 6-minute work based on recollecting and rearranging a few clear, bell-like harmonies, composed in 1997.
