The Evolutionary Development of Compositional Technique and Style in the Piano Sonatas of George Walker: A Study of the Sonata No. 4 and Analytical Comparison of the Four Sonatas, Together With Three Recitals of Selected Works of f.j. Haydn, l.V. Beethoven, F. Schubert, F. Chopin, F. Liszt, J. Brahms, C Debussy, Z. KodáLy and F. Poulenc

Description

George Walker, pianist, composer and pedagogue, composed piano sonatas in 1953, 1957, 1975, and 1984. The Sonata No. 4 demonstrates the composer's continued fascination with a relaxation of traditional forms, coloristic effects of persistent interval combinations, incorporation of folk elements into his thematic material, and harmonic and rhythmic underpinnings as structural bases to his work.
