Piano Sonata in C Minor - Carroll, Walter

Walter Carroll's grandly romantic Piano Sonata in C Minor was written in 1892 and is a true concert work in every respect. It demonstrates the young composer's gift for writing beguiling melodies and striking gesture, qualities that would later resurface in his superb childrens piano albums such as Scenes at a Farm and The Countryside.
