Saturday Sonata (Sherlock Holmes)

Solo Sonata a minor (1974)

The "Sherlock Holmes" sonata, written and first performed backstage when I was acting in the Royal Shakespeare Company revival of the William Gillette play at the Broadhurst) and had lots of time on my hands (didn't enter until Act I Scene 3) and a willing violinist (who provided the offstage live sound of Holmes' fiddling).

Four movements: Andante - Fuga - Largo - Allegro

  1. Tobias - thank you for this. Much like the Emmaus music, this moved my heart deeply.

    I was clicked into this and was listening and openened another window to read a moving post at another blog.

    Your music was the perfect thing when reading that post.

    God is so very good indeed.

  4. What can I say that's new? Nothing, except that I loved the sonata.

  5. Tobias, I must point people here. One does not put a light under a bushell.

    Pax my brother.
