I'm not familiar with this work. Is that the same Martin Ellerby who writes massive works for brass band? If so, I'd like to hear it - if its anything like the stuff I've heard of his.

yup. it is the same Martin Ellerby that wrote paris sketches. the sonata comprises of 3 movements, the 1st focus on the higer range, 2nd on the lower and the 3rd a flurry of notes. the entire thing is a mix of classical and jazz. very interesting piece of music. hopefully somebody could help me with the tempi of the 3 movements

Ben,

I have just picked up a recording of this piece by Linda Merrick. Her tempos seem to vary quite a bit through each movement but I think I might be able to pick up her approximate baseline tempos if you can give me the time signatures of each movements. (Or you could try e-mailing her directly.)

Best regards,
jnk
