Sonata in D major Moderato (a fantasia) Allegro moderato Largo Vivace Sonata No. 1 in G minor for unaccompanied violin Adagio Fuga; allegro Siciliano Presto Antonio Vivaldi (1685-1741) arr. Busoni Sonata in A major, Op. 100 Bach's suites for unaccompanied violin were written for an instru- ment of which the bridge was more curved than in modern violins, so that the strings lent themselves more easily to the polyphonic effects demanded; the bow also had hairs that were controllable in tension by the thumb so that they could be relaxed so as to cover several strings at once. It is only of comparatively recent years that these works have found a regular place in the repertoire of the modern violin. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Allegro amabile Andante tranquillo vivace Allegretto grazioso (quasi andante) This sunny work was written in 1885 and is one of the most imm appealing of all violin sonatas. In the second move- ment Brahms combines the slow movement with a scherzo; the alternations of mood make a most attractive contrast. INTERVAL

Adagio Habanera Five Melodies, Op. 35 bis Kodály Zoltán (1882- ) Pablo Martín Sarasate (1844-1908) Rhapsodie No. 1 Serge Prokofieff (1891-1953) Andante Lento ma non troppo Animato ma non allegro Allegretto leggiero e scherzando Andante In 1920, during his second unsuccessful tour in America, Prokofieff wrote Five songs without words, vocalises for voice and piano; it is thought that the alien element, in which he could find no poems suitable for setting, drove his lyrical impulse to the wordless form. In 1925, with the aid of the violinist Paul Kochanski, he rewrote them for violin and piano. Bartók Béla (1881-1945) Bartok wrote two Rhapsodies in 1928. The first exists in three versions, for violin and piano, for cello and piano and for violin and orchestra. It is really a brilliant violin solo with accompani- ment. It is in the form of a Csardas, the first, slow movement being the lassu, the second, lively, the friss.
