Iain James Veitch - Academic Sonata Op. 4 (for piano)

This three-movement, sixteen-minute, Sonata was written in 1979/80 -  when I was a student at University College Cardiff.

A decade or so later, this and three other student sonatas were rebranded ‘Academic Sonatas’ and given opus numbers. 

My thinking behind the use of this ‘Academic’ tag was to differentiate these early ‘student’ pieces from the more recent work I was writing at the time.
