Rebecca Clarke's Viola Sonata
Today is the second day of the lunar new year. I had a rehearsal in the early afternoon with a viola student, TYY. We'll be playing in a noon recital this coming thursday, and we'll be playing the first movement of Rebecca Clarke's Viola Sonata. This sonata is very seldom played, which is a pity, because it's really beautiful.
TYY and I are looking forward to performing this work (which was premiered by her teacher, JH, here in the 1980s) this thursday.
Long live female composers! :)
