OHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Concerto in D minor for Two Violins Bach was born in 1685 into a family of organists, conductors, chamber musicians and composers – there were so many musical J members of the family that the name ‘Bach’ became synonymous with the word ‘musician’ in the area of Saxe-Eisenach where they lived. Johann Sebastian was taught the violin and harpsichord by his father, composition from his uncles, and the clavichord by his brother Johann Christoph.

In 1717, after working as an organist in Mühlhausen and as a music director in Weimar, Bach was invited by Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen to preside over the music of his court. The salary was generous and the Prince gave his Kapellmeister freedom to compose in whatever style he wished. Bach’s years at the court were extremely productive: he wrote the six Brandenburg Concertos, the six suites for unaccompanied cello, the sonatas and partitas for solo violin, the violin concertos in E major and A minor, and tonight’s concerto for two violins in D minor. It was also at Köthen that Bach met his second wife, the beautiful soprano Anna Magdalena, with whom he had thirteen children, adding to his previous seven.

The double violin concerto has a fast opening movement, a slow middle section and a fast final movement, alternating solo and tutti passages. The excitement of the first movement (Vivace) is followed by a tender slow movement (Largo ma non tanto) in which the two solo violins hold a dialogue of beautiful interweaving melodies. The finale (Allegro) is in ritornello form with ‘little returns’ to the main theme sandwiched between episodes of new material. Its stormy opening in D minor leads into a movement full of contrast and variation. ARL NIELSEN ― Little Suite for String Orchestra This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Carl Nielsen, Denmark's greatest composer. Born on the Danish island of Funen, Nielsen was the seventh of twelve children in a poor peasant family. C Alongside his brothers and sisters, he was sent out to work as a gooseherd during his holidays from the village school he attended.

However, Nielsen proved to have a remarkable gift for music; he started to play the violin and compose little pieces aged six. Whilst at school he also joined a local amateur orchestra and learnt the trumpet, which led to a job as a bugler in the 16th Battalion at nearby Odense when he was fourteen. His passion for music continued throughout his time in the army where he taught himself to play the piano. Determined to further his musical education, he left the army in 1883 to move to Copenhagen. Here he got himself introduced to the head of the Copenhagen Conservatory and was admitted there as a scholarship pupil in 1884.

Nielsen’s Little Suite for String Orchestra (1888) was written just after finishing his studies at the Conservatory and was his first orchestral work to gain international recognition. Its première on 8th September 1888 by the Tivoli orchestra was met with great enthusiasm by the audience; the middle movement was played again as an encore and Nielsen, (who performed as a violinist within the orchestra) was called back by the audience three times.

The first movement is serious in tone and is followed by a beautiful waltz which highlights Nielsen’s sense of string texture and gift for contrapuntal writing. The Finale is more dramatic and sees a theme from the first movement develop into an exciting più mosso section at the end. ÉLA BARTÓK ― Rumanian Folk Dances From 1910 to 1914 Bartók travelled the country roads of Rumania, Transylvania and his native Hungary with his friend Zoltán Kodály, recording folk dances and songs on Edison B cylinders. Bartók was drawn to Rumanian folk traditions for their colourful instrumentation of violins, guitars, panpipes and bagpipes, as well as for their authenticity, isolated from outside influence. Bartók’s engagement with Rumanian folk music was hugely important for his development - he later acknowledged that the pentatonic and modal folk tunes had freed him ‘from the tyrannical rule of the major and minor keys’ and made new and vigorous rhythmic combinations available to him.

Composed in 1915 for solo piano (Bartók’s own instrument), the Rumanian Folk Dances were rearranged for violin and piano and then for small orchestra in 1917. Bartók’s aim in setting the tunes was for the accompaniment to be as the ‘mounting of a jewel’, allowing the original peasant melody to shine out. The seven movements are miniatures, capturing the essence of each dance.

The first movement, Jocul cu bâtǎ, is a strident dance tune from Mezoszobad, Transylvania, and is characterised by strongly accented rhythms – perhaps originally created by the dancers’ sticks. The title of the second dance, Brâul, refers to a cloth belt worn by the men and women of Egres, Torontal, and the dance is introduced by the violas before being taken up by the rest of the orchestra. Pe loc, the third dance, translates as ‘in one spot’. It is an intricate stamping dance performed to a haunting melody over a drone, ending in teasing inconclusiveness. The fourth dance, Buciumeana, is from Butschum, Transylvania. The lyrical melody of this horn dance is passed from solo violin to the rest of the ensemble, and is followed by a vigorous and rhythmically intricate Rumanian polka, Poargă Românească, a children’s dance. The final two fast dances come from Bihar on the Hungarian border. They are played in quick succession, the last dance accelerating until a seemingly exhausted collapse. STOR PIAZZOLLA La Muerte del Ángel Born in Argentina, AAstor Piazzolla quickly became a virtuoso on the bandoneón (an instrument similar to an accordion) playing in bands and writing tangos as a teenager. But he was also mesmerised by Bach as well as by jazz during his lifetime. At one point he was so keen to follow the musical styles of Bartók, Stravinsky and Ravel that he gave up the bandoneón and tango altogether to study classical composition. It wasn’t until his revered teacher in Paris, Nadia Boulanger, told him she ‘couldn’t find Piazzolla’ in his classical compositions that he even admitted to having written tangos. Once Nadia Boulanger had heard a few bars of one of his tangos she told him ‘that is the true Piazzolla’ and he immediately returned to his bandoneón, combining both the discipline of classical composition and the passion of tango.

La Muerte del Ángel was written in 1962 and was part of a cycle of five Ángel pieces written between 1957 and 1965. Originally they were conceived as music for the play El Tango del Ángel by Argentinian playwright, Alberto Rodriguez Muñoz. In the theatre piece, an angel comes to an apartment block in Buenos Aires to purify its inhabitants and heal their spirits, only to be killed in a violent knife fight with a local villain.

The Ángel compositions fuse the tango with devotional, religious feeling. Tonight’s piece begins with a four voice fugue - Piazzolla loved experimenting with the fugue form, blending Baroque formality with his own rhythmic tango style. The middle section is slow and reflective, with the solo violin representing the angel. When the fugue returns at the end it is fortissimo, its rhythmic urgency bringing the piece to a tumultuous end.
