Through composed and thus unlike Piano Sonata No.1, this one fifteen-minute movement begins and ends quietly yet retains a sense of clearly defined sections throughout.
Piano Sonata No. 2 was commissioned by the BBC in Wales, and given its first performance by the composer on 3 March 1970 in a broadcast recital as part of the BBC St David's Festival of Music.
