Second Sonata on Shakespearean Characters. Composed by Hans Werner Henze. Downloadable, Separate edition. Duration 20 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q559783. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q559783).Royal Winter Music is the name given to two solo works for classical guitar by the German composer Hans Werner Henze. Both works are inspired by characters from Shakespeare. The first work (described as a sonata) was completed in 1976, and is in six movements. The first part, Richard of Gloucester gives the overall work its name (from Richard's opening monologue Now is the winter of our discontent). The first piece was premiered by Julian Bream (at whose request Henze had written it) in Berlin on 20 September 1976. This second sonata, written in 1979, continues the Shakespearean theme in three parts. Henze has stated that the work as whole is now complete. The second piece was premiered by Reinbert Evers in the Goethe-Institut, Brussels on 25 November 1980.
