    An analysis of Margaret Sutherland's sonata for clarinet and piano (1947)
    Morgan, Ian McKeon ( 1984-12)
    The sonata for clarinet and piano by Margaret Sutherland has been selected as the subject for this thesis from a substantial list of sonatas by Australian composers. The choice was for two reasons: the sonata is the earliest surviving work for the combination and while not a major work, it is at least a substantial work by one of Australia’s most important composers. The work is written in a contemporary musical style, typical of its composer, so that it sounds fresh and musically challenging even in today’s musical environment.

    The significance of percussion in contemporary music between 1945 and 1970
    Sablinskis, Paul V. ( 1981)
    Chapter one discusses the developments between 1900-1945, concentrating on composers’ growing concern for percussion instruments and percussive sound sources. Chapter two discusses trends between 1945-1970, revealing the particular relationship between the concepts of New Music and the material of percussion. Chapter three concentrates on a detailed discussion and analysis of four percussion works, which present examples indicative not only of the diverse range of percussion scores composed in the period but also of the connection between new ideas and percussion.
