In a 4 recital series (10, 17, 22, and 29 November 1938) at London's Æolian Hall, Aitken performs all 12 of the 'finished' Sonatas, including No. 15 in C Major D. 840, in a completion by composer Ernst Krenek.
This marks the first time all 12 Sonatas have been heard as a cycle in London, prompting an article by Richard Capell for the Daily Telegraph and Morning Post entitled "Revaluation of a Neglected Heritage" that for many years was held as a landmark in Schubertian literature. |
