Extract

No Composer Comes Fully-Formed into the world, and Peter Maxwell Davies is no exception; but many of the ideas and concepts on which his mature style rests are present in seminal form in the first published works. No compositions are available for general study before the Trumpet Sonata, op.l (1955), but those that have been seen by friends and colleagues are variously described as being ‘remarkably traditional’ and showing influences ‘such as Bartók’.
