SONATA FOR VIOLA AND PIANO IN THE MUSIC OF ENGLISH COMPOSERS OF THE 90S OF THE XIX CENTURY: WORKS BY: E. WOLKER
The article is a continuation of the study of works by English composers for chamber ensemble. The focus is on the little - known and rarely performed Sonata for viola and piano by E. Walker, a popular musician and public figure, a major representative of the British school of composition. The creation of this cycle was the result of an unflagging interest in the achievements of viola performance, the technical and artistic advantages of the instrument. The content of the work touches on the issues of stylistic and genre features of this work, its figurative spheres, consonant with the romantic traditions of Western European music of the second half of the XIX century.
