Some Simple Sonatas

Discover "Some Simple Sonatas", a charming and intimate collection of four short pieces that brings historical keyboard instruments to life with fresh vibrancy. Originally commissioned by Gill Graham for the 60th birthday of her dear friend Chris Butler, this delightful work captivates listeners with its refined elegance and musical warmth.

Published by Chester Music, this sheet music edition offers wonderful flexibility for performers: the pieces unfold their unique charm equally well on the delicate clavichord, the brilliant harpsichord, or the expressive pianoforte. With a total duration of approximately 4½ minutes, this exquisite cycle is an ideal choice for recital encores, intimate concert settings, or refined music-making at home. A truly rewarding addition to the repertoire for both early and modern keyboard enthusiasts!
