The Violinist as Composer

on BBC Radio 3

All the great violinists of former times were also composers of violin music. In the third of four programmes, Duncan Druce continues his exploration of their output, considering three violinists of the 1800s, Spohr, David and Joachim, who sought to keep alive a classical tradition in the face of an increasing vogue for violinistic "fireworks".
