Abstract

In recent years, Rebecca Clarke (1886- 1979), a British-born composer who eventually settled in the United States, has been gaining recognition as a distinctive and significant musical voice of the early twentieth century. She studied composition at the Royal College of Music in London with Charles Villiers Stanford and had a long professional career as a violist. Her first successes in composition were in the United States, and the two works written for competitions sponsored by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, the Viola Sonata (1919; pub. 1921) and Piano Trio (1921; pub. 1928), have been central to the growing interest in Clarke's music.
