Considered a Romantic ahead of his time, the works of Dussek are a worthy addition to the piano repertoire and this piece, a characteristic sonata which commemorates the great naval battle of Camperdown is a moderately difficult work which successfully paints a colourful picture of the fray. Paraphrasing 'Rule Brittania', it is both a remembrance of glories past and an undying tribute to a true patriot and hero of the conflict, Admiral Adam Duncan.

Die Werke von Dussek, der als Romantiker seiner Zeit voraus angesehen wurde, sind eine wertvolle Ergänzung eines jeden Klavierrepertoires. Beim vorliegenden Stück handelt es sich um eine typische Sonate, die an die große Seeschlacht von Kamperduin erinnert, eine mittelschwere Arbeit, die erfolgreich ein farbenfrohes Bild des Gefechtes malt. Rule Brittania' paraphrasierend, erinnert sie an vergangenen Ruhm und ist eine unsterbliche Hommage an einen echten Patrioten und Helden der Schlacht, Admiral Adam Duncan.
