The Sonata for Violoncello and Piano in A major by Hubert Parry is a sonata for cello and piano composed between 1879 and 1880, but not published until 1883.
Hubert Parry began work on the Cello Sonata in 1879 shortly after he completed his Piano Quintet. Intended for French Cellist Jules-Bernard Lasserre, the work was not finished until early 1880. Despite a successful premiere on the 12th of February 1880, Parry was dissatisfied with the work and revised it extensively before publication by Novello in 1883 with a dedication to Lasserre.
The composition is in three movements:
Typical performances take around 25 - 26 minutes.
