Thank you, Rainolf!
The Wetz sonata has been a desideratum for a long time.

Good news, agreed. Not sure there are many recordings of the Tovey either, but would have to double-check!...

The only other recording of the Tovey I know is Robert Atchison's in an all-Tovey album on Guild.

Rupert Marshall-Luck has recorded the Tovey recently. It has not been released so far I think.

Ok, since there's a complete chamber music series in progress too that might reach the sonata, I stand potentially corrected...
