CONSTANCE BULL (Contralto)
PHYLLIS McDONALD (Violin)
DOROTHY FOLKARD (Pianoforte) PHYLLIS McDONALD and DOROTHY FOLKABD
AMONG the great Bach's lighter pieces are six little Sonatas for violin and pianoforte. Slight in structure as compared with a modern Sonata-with that of Brahms played at the beginning of the programme, for instance—they are instinct with Bach's bigness, in their own concise way.
This one in B minor begins with a slow movement, rather sad in tone : the pianoforte, as afterwards the violin, has a melody made up of a motive which wireless listeners must now have learned to recognize as one of Bach's favourite expressions of sorrow.
A dainty and light-footed quick movement comes next. in gavotte rhythm, but without the solemnity of that old dance, and then there is another very tuneful slow movement flowing along more easily' than the first.
The last movement is again quick and merry; listeners will ha vo no difficulty in identifying its chief tune-made up of a repeated note.
