- Composer: Léon Orthel (4 October 1905 -- 6 September 1985)
- Performer: Jacques Hendriks
- Year of recording: 1972
Sonatina No. 6 for piano, Op. 70, written in 1974.
00:00 - I. Allegretto moderato
01:30 - II. Andante (tranquillo e rubato)
03:55 - III. Vivace e sempre brillante
In Orthel's 6th Piano sonatina there are influences ranging van Pijper to Hindemith, and Orthel experiments with different sonorities and textures throughout. The 3rd movement is remarkable for its sheet of sound approach to composing.
In the 3rd movement the pianist sometimes repeats a bar (which is not indicated in de score here).
The sonatina is dedicated to Frédéric Meinders.
