Title: Schuricht the composer

In his younger years Carl Schuricht also composed as can be gleaned from this website (http://carlschuricht.com/Schuricht-doc.htm). Performance dates can be found in this list of concerts (http://carlschuricht.com/concert.htm).

The sonata is middle romantic stuff, the first theme of the first movement even feels classical, exuberant more than dramatic, which is somewhat out of sync with the rest.

Unlikely, with performances of Herbststücke, Nordische Phantasie and Thüringer Ouverture in 1905 and 1906 and the sonata in 1917.
