Philip Cowlin was born in 1920 to a musical family in Stockport: both parents were gifted amateur singers and pianists and gave recitals in Grantham (his mother's home town) and in and around Stockport. He studied violin with a professional teacher but 'picked up' some piano technique by playing his own early compositions. While taking a degree in Physics at Manchester University he showed his compositions to Proctor Greg, the Reader in Music, who suggested he change courses and enter the Music Faculty.

Later, another Violin Sonata was played at the Malvern and Droitwich Contemporary Music Circles by the composer, with Eric Mutch at the piano.
