I'd much rather keep playing....maybe it's not a sonata, but a piece with another name or genre
''Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.'' - James Joyce (The Dead)

Ok, I'll try once more (this time after reading previous guesses) - Babbitt?

I'll bet Drasko is right....the "Composition" for viola & piano

Is it a contemporary, still-living American composer?   :o

Alan Shulman. Russian descent, studied with Hindemith. It fits. But warning; I have absolutely no possibility to post new clips.

The first half of the new clip sounds like an echo of a Bartókian groove, both the spiraling rhythm and the modal feel to the pitch-world.  But then, the second half has these monumental chords . . . .

Oh, maybe erato's got it? . . .

It probably depends on the time of day! ;D

Per Wikipedia:

QuoteDuring the 1930s and 1940s Shulman worked actively as an arranger for such people as Leo Reisman, Andre Kostalanetz, Arthur Fiedler, and Wilfred Pelletier.

Davey's clips don't really sound like a fellow who arranged for Kostelanetz and Fiedler.

We're getting desperate here, Ernst Bloch?

Nope not Bloch.  I have a few errands to do in town, I'll come back later and if no one has it by then... we will have the big reveal. 0:)

I don't know about that...  >:D

Sounds like Babbitt influence, if not the man himself... :-\
