Gordon,

The PMD Sonata is Max's opus #1 and was indeed written for his friend Garry Howarth. It's a very good piece but, in the context of this discussion, a bit too commonly played (been around forever). The Concerto (and the Strathclyde Concerto, for that matter) are rare birds due to the size of the forces needed.

Cheers, mate
