Autumn Special Online from 8 September 2020, 1:00pm | Holy Trinity Church, Haddington Chloë Hanslip violin Danny Driver piano Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Major, Op. 12, No. 1 Sergey Prokofiev Five Melodies Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 10 in G Major, Op. 96 The Lammermuir Festival is a registered charity in Scotland SC049521 Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Major, Op. 12, No. 1 1. Allegro con brio 2. Tema con variazioni: Andante con moto 3. Rondo: Allegro Beethoven’s first three violin sonatas were composed between 1797–98. Although they were dedicated to Antonio Salieri, with whom he might briefly have studied, they show the unmistakable influence Mozart made on Beethoven’s music at the time, as he acquired full fluency in the Viennese Classical style. And in the customary Classical style, they are indicated as sonatas ‘for pianoforte and violin’, with both instruments having a more or less equal role. While the Op. 12 violin sonatas are not necessarily as formally daring as the piano sonatas of the same period, they reveal Beethoven’s firm grasp of how to write idiomatically for the violin, as well as his increasing understanding of how to create a sonata style based on the apparent unification of two opposing forces. The opening movement begins with a bold unison figure, which quickly gives way to a sonorous first subject. In the central development section, rapid passages of semiquavers are passed between violin and piano in quick sequence, making for a vigorous dialogue. The middle movement takes the form of a theme and variations, the theme being audibly based on the opening figure of the previous movement.

PRESS RELEASE – Tuesday 19Th November PAINES PLOUGH
PRESS RELEASE – Tuesday 19th November PAINES PLOUGH ANNOUNCE CASTING FOR SAM STEINER’S YOU STUPID DARKNESS! AT SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE, A CO-PRODUCTION WITH THEATRE ROYAL PLYMOUTH IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE www.painesplough.com / @painesplough /#PP2019 / Theatre. Everywhere. Paines Plough have today announced casting for the transfer of Sam Steiner’s YOU STUPID DARKNESS! to Southwark Playhouse, a co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth. An urgent play about the struggle for optimism and community amid the chaos of a collapsing world, the production is directed by former Paines Plough co-Artistic Director James Grieve and the cast includes: Andrew Finnigan; Jenni Maitland; Lydia Larson; Andy Rush. The show opened at Theatre Royal Plymouth earlier this year and will run at Southwark Playhouse from 16 January – 22 February with a Press Night on Monday 20 January. “I just think it’s, you know, important to look at the good things that are happening as well.” Everything’s been falling apart for a while now. In a cramped, crumbling office four volunteers spend a few hours every Tuesday night on the phone to strangers telling them everything is going to be ok. As the outside world disintegrates around them, Frances, Joey, Angie and Jon teeter on the edge of their own personal catastrophes. Their hopes and fears become entangled as they try, desperately, to connect with the callers and with each other. Andrew will reprise his role as Joey. His theatre credits include: BROKEN BISCUITS (Live Theatre/Paines Plough and UK tour); DRIP (Hull City of Culture/Boundless Theatre/Tour); MY UNCLE FREDDIE, WORMTOWN (The Customs House, South Shields) and Great North Run for BBC Radio 4.
