plus some vocal/choral music
Alan Rawsthorne only decided to take up music as a career in his early twenties, when he abandoned the study of dentistry. He graduated from the Royal Manchester College of Music in 1930, and continued his studies abroad, with Egon Petri among others. His first successful pieces were the Theme and Variations for Two Violins (1938) and the Symphonic Studies (1939), the latter considered by many to be his best orchestral piece. Apart from his contributions to the regular repertoire, Rawsthorne also wrote much music for films, including The Captive Heart.
