Finzi, Gerald: Prelude and Fugue op. 24 (1938) 8'

for string trio

Repertoire Note  
Conceived as a tribute to Finzi’s renowned teacher R O Morris, this piece follows contrapuntal disciplines with a strictness of which the dedicatee would certainly have approved. With its piquant dissonances the music follows a Purcellian tradition, whilst standing alone as the only chamber piece for strings within the Finzi catalogue.
