Sending Out An SOS
Reader Maurizio is looking for the composer of a piece he heard years ago. Anyone recognize it?
It was a sort of “futuristic” composition; the Author tried (with good results, I remember!) to himitate the sounds of the city of London during wartime….I remember the warning sirens before the German planes come to bomb, the busy industrial equipment at work, the lyric calm of the dawn…..
The title of the piece was something like “A London Symphony” and the Author……sorry, but I remember only that the name sounded like English….(Be patient: I was 14 or 15 year old… and it was a long long time ago)

That was my first guess but Google tells me it was composed in 1912-13 and, to my knowledge, there isn’t a piano version.
It turns out the answer is A London Fantasia by Clive Richardson.
