This work was commissioned by Mark Papworth in 2021. The general brief was to compose a sonata for natural horn and cello in my usual neo-classical style. Mark and Amanda also had some specific requirements for the piece: 1.) the cello part should play a melody at least once in every movement; and 2.) the second movement should be in the form of a recitative and aria and in a minor key.
It was a pleasure working with Mark and Amanda to compose this very rare kind of sonata. As far as I know, there are only three composers (including myself) who have composed sonatas for natural horn and cello, with Frederic Nicolas Duvernoy (1765–1828) and Aldolphe Blanc (1828–1885) composing sonatas between the late 18 century and mid-19 century, respectively. Their works are rare treasures, and I am very pleased to contribute more music to this niche repertoire.
