Considered a Romantic ahead of his time, the works of Dussek are a worthy addition to the piano repertoire and this piece, a characteristic sonata which commemorates the great naval battle of Camperdown is a moderately difficult work which successfully paints a colourful picture of the fray. Paraphrasing "Rule Britannia", it is both a remembrance of glories past and an undying tribute to a true patriot and hero of the conflict, Admiral Adam Duncan.
