Sonata for Two Pianos

"Alan was a complete musician - a composer, performer, teacher, and a person of extraordinary natural musicality. Small wonder then that he was viewed with profound respect by all those within the musical profession who were privileged to come into contact with him... As a pianist one was struck by his innate rhythmic verve, a facet which indeed radiated through all his compositions - but perhaps the quality above all else that will be remembered was that which can best be described as a mezzo voce bel canto, the realization of a choice and refined ear, and the product of a deep thinker and inner tranquility'. It is that satisfying synergy of elegant lyricism and rhythmic energy which distinguishes the keyboard works of pianist and composer Alan Richardson." [Paul Conway] The Sonata for two pianos was not published during the composer's life. Nimbus Music Publishing is grateful to the Richardson Estate for permission to make it available in this edition.
