The year 1926 saw the Music for Small Orchestra and the Violin Sonata, both outstanding pieces. Seeger destroyed her manuscripts of the Violin Sonata in the mid-'30s, but in 1982 her student Vivian Fine found a copy amongst her sheet music. It's a great piece that I first encountered at around the time Hilary Hahn released her recording of the Charles Ives violin sonatas — so there we have five superb American contributions to the genre.Brian Linnellhttp://www.ayicm.comnoreply@blogger.com
