The outer movements are based on GP 242, a piano sonata (his 3rd, unpublished and unnumbered, and only recently recorded) composed in 1921. (Quoting David Parlett quoting Graham Parlett (A Catalogue of the Works of Sir Arnold Bax (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1999)): "After completing this sonata, Bax played it through to his friends Harriet Cohen and Arthur Alexander, who suggested to him that it was really a symphony and should be orchestrated. Before doing this, Bax wrote an entirely new slow movement to replace the original.")
