CHACONNE IN D MINOR........ ........Bach-Busoni (1685-1750)The chaconne was an ancient majestic dance in triple

time and resembles the passacagha — a set of variations constructed on a recurring theme in the bass. TTiis cha­conne was originally written for violin and was taken from the second Partita in D Minor of Bach. Only with the ancient German arched bow can the polyphonic passages and full unbroken chords be played ade­quately. Because of this perhaps the performance of tne piano transcription comes closer to Bach’s ideal than that of the present-day violinist

In its conception it is a massive piece and arouses great depth of feeling in the listener and the performer. Schweitzer, acknowledged authority on Bach, states that in this composition “we seem to hear sorrow contending with pain till at last they blend in a mood of profound resignation."

II.CONCERTO IN B FLAT MAJOR, Op. W....Brahms (1833-1897)

Allegro non troppo Allegro appassionato Andante .Allegretto grazioso

This concerto was written in 1882 and dedicated to Eduard Marxsen. Brahms, never one to display his in­nermost thoughts concerning his compositions, referred to the B Flat Concerto as a tiny, tiny piano concert with a wisp of a scherzo,” and also as a collection of “small piano pieces.” Hanslick described it as a “sym­phony with pianoforte obbligato.” . The pianist must allow himself to be an integral part of the orchestra in his interpretation. Although the work embodies in­tellectual elements, it has a strong influence on almost the entire gamut of emotions.
