The F major ’cello/piano Strauss sonata belongs to his youthand, together with the Eb violin sonata of a few years later, is amanifestation of adolescent high spirits. (For this reason it was hightime we committed this to disc sooner rather than later.) His fatherFranz was a horn player in the Munich Opera Orchestra and hismother was an heiress of a famous brewing family so it was throughhis father he grew up steeped in the prevailing musical atmosphere.Franz Strauss was a musical conservative and this, perhaps, is whyhis son’s early works adhere so strongly to classical compositionalprocedure. Despite the obvious influences of Mendelssohn, andespecially Brahms, there is nonetheless an individual voice fromthe outset characterized by a fleetness of touch and sense of thetheatrical which pre-echo his astonishing achievements in the fieldof Opera.
