Sonata No. 1, Op. 66 (1909) - by Cyril Scott - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Scott

( See also http://cyrilscott.net/ )

This work is in 4 uninterrupted movements - signaled only by tempo changes:

I - Allegro con spirito
II - Adagio ( begins 9:55 )
III - Scherzo ( 16:47 )

Percy Grainger was particularly fond of this work and played it in concert up through the 1950s, but never recorded it. This recording by Verbit is the first.

About Marthanne Verbit: - http://marthanneverbit.com/

Verbit writes in the CD booklet: ... "Scott's so-called 'irregular rhythms' occur in almost every measure of this sonata. He later revised this work, replacing the changing meters with triplets or other rapid rhythmic figures. I prefer the original irregular barring, which gives his long lines an individuality that is compromised in the second version."
