She wrote it in 1919 -- which orchestra will play the premiere?
Viola Sonata orchestration by Ruth Lomon now available for performance.
Rebecca Clarke's Viola Sonata caused a sensation when it tied for first place in a 1919 chamber music competition. Although an immediate success, the Sonata gradually disappeared from the repertoire, and Clarke was long forgotten. Since the rediscovery of the Sonata in 1976, it has become (according to some noted violists) the most frequently performed large work for viola and piano.

More newly discovered music by Rebecca Clarke
presentation by Liane Curtis, at the Royal Musical Association, Annual Conference.
Manchester, Great Britain, 4-6 November 2005.
"2003 brought a revelation of five works by Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) that were not previously known to exist. Three movements for two violins and piano (presumably a Suite), and a monumental Theme and Variations for solo piano were premiered in London on March 23. A fourth movement of the Suite survives incomplete. Two of the works are mentioned in Clarke's unpublished memoir (1967-1970), dating them from her period at the Royal College of Music, 1908-09, when she studied with Charles Stanford."

Silencing Music as a Function of Copyright Law?
The Case of Rebecca Clarke
a presentation by Liane Curtis
In June 2004, the first book about composer Rebecca Clarke was withdrawn by its publisher as a response to legal threats from the current manager of Clarke's estate. In light of this, author and musicologist Liane Curtis discusses some artistic and scholarly issues raised by the use of copyright law for purposes of censorship.
