Matthew King
A Sonata For Laurence Crane

My Sonata for Left Hand (Neon, Glass and Ashes) is a single-movement piece, dedicated to Laurence Crane. Its composition arose out of a creative game in which Laurence set very precise instructions for the piece.  
 
The resulting music is a small tribute to Laurence as a friend, as a unique creative artist, and as an inspirer of creativity in others.

Described by Judith Weir, Master of the Queen’s Music, as “one of Britain's most adventurous composers, utterly skilled, imaginative and resourceful”, Matthew King’s recent works include his 2021 Richard Wagner in Venice: A Symphony, an ongoing sequence of more than 20 single-movement piano sonatas since 2019, and a piano concerto, premiered in San Diego in June 2018. His chamber opera The Snow Queen has been produced many times since its premiere in 1992, most recently in Ljubljana in 2019 – 2020, and his chamber opera The Pied Piper had productions in Salzburg and Nuremberg in 2018. Reviewers have described his music as “exhilarating” (The Sunday Times) and “teeming with ideas…with a jauntiness of rhythm and texture” (The Times) as well as possessing “distinctive beauty with disarming theatre sense” (Independent on Sunday).
