The 2nd Sonata composed 1946 - three movements Ferguson +••.••(...)) was born in Belfast. His musical talent was apparent early. The pianist Harold Samuel heard him in 1922 and encouraged his parents to allow him to travel to London to become his pupil. Following studies at Westminster School Ferguson entered the Royal College of Music in 1924 to study composition with R. O. Morris and Ralph Vaughan Williams. He also studied conducting with Malcolm Sargent, and formed a friendship with fellow-student Gerald Finzi. His early compositions, such as his Octet of 1933 (scored for the same forces as Franz Schubert's octet), met with considerable success. During World War II, Ferguson helped Myra Hess run the popular, morale-boosting series of concerts at the National Gallery. From 1948 to 1963 he taught at the Royal Academy of Music, his students there including Richard Rodney Bennett and Cornelius Cardew.. After writing The Dream of the Rood in 1958-9, Ferguson simply gave up composing (saying that in his relatively few works he had 'said' all he wanted to say) in order to concentrate on musicology. His editions of early keyboard music and the complete piano sonatas of Schubert are authoritative. In his later years he lived in Cambridge. He was a very fine pianist, performing with several leading artists of his time. This performance was given in the composer's presence at Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool as part of a 1989 recital in honour of his 80th birthday. (http•••)
