Having learned to play the cello as a young man, he loved the instrument all his life and wrote works for it at various times, including a cello sonata composed in 1937-38. Many of these were written for his friends, and the Sonatina on the album is dedicated to cellist Oliver Vera and his wife. The Piano Trio No. 1, dedicated to Alice, who later became Pitfield's wife, was written in 1930. It was soon published to great success.On the other hand, No. 2, written in 1948-49, was a forgotten work until it was premiered at a concert in 1983 to celebrate the composer's 80th birthday. It is lyrical and sentimental music, as the copy of the autograph score describes it as a \"lyric trio. The Pleyel Ensemble, founded in 2011, will perform this short but impressive work.
