Sonata for Violoncello & Piano [CF:494-03123]

"Commissioned by Ellen Zoe Hassman in 2008. I had long known that her soaring lines were rightly her pride and joy, so I made sure to give her passages where she could show off that special attribute. Other ’cellists have since taken up the piece, one even excerpting the lyric slow movement as a stand alone solo." - Paul Somers
