Sir Arnold Bax [1883–1953]

(nom de plume: Dermot O’Byrne)

Our Bax portfolio is a growing collection of first editions from this 20th Century master. To date, these have all been mature works that have, for various reasons, previously evaded publication. Projected editions include Three Songs from the Norse (1927) and Violin Sonata no 4, which Bax subsequently recast for Nonet.
