[] Sonata in d. Organ. op1 pub Novello & Co., London 1903 2,3: pub Novello & Co., London 1907 this sonata received rave reviews in the newspapers: - Morning Post "Organists may be recommended a Sonata in D minor by Alfred H. Allen. This is an extremely well-written work by one who evidently is an expert organist. In the Prelude the composer employs the rarely-used seven-four, alternating with three-four, tempo. His counterpoint flows naturally and without effort. There is an excellent fugal section in this movement. The Intermezzo is melodious and simple in construction, an Allegretto scherzando in the middle affording effective contrast. The Finale worthily concludes the sonata" - Daily Telegraph "Organists are still under a debt to Messrs. Novello, for the steady supply of music specially written for the instrument of their predilection. Foremost in the ranks of the firm's latest issue a place must be assigned to Alfred H. Allen's Sonata in D minor, which reveals close study of the best models, and, more than this, considerable originality in the composer's own ideas. We believe this is the author's first attempt in sonata form. It is only fair to say that it does him infinite credit. There is some capital fugal writing towards the end of the first movement, which gives place eventually to a well-constructed Intermezzo and Scherzo adapted for the softer registers and the display of delicate fancy in the executant. A Finale, Alla Marcia, partakes more or less of the majestic character of the opening Preludio, though the use of the instrument's weightier tones is postponed for the final climax. The dignity of this closing section is quite exceptional, and as far removed as possible from the meretricious style affected by many writers. The author has a perfect command of harmony, and understands the valuable effect of diatonic passages as opposed to chromatic. His mastery of contrapuntal devices also serves him well. Mr. Allen deserves to be congratulated on his clever work." |
