Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, one of the most popular and delightful of its kind, was written for Ferdinand David, who was leader of the Gewandhaus
Orchestra at Leipzig and a close friend of the composer. David, whose pupils included Joachim and Wilhelmj, constantly advised Mendelssohn on technical matters while the Concerto was being composed; and he was the soloist when it was performed for the first time in 1845. His son, it is interesting to recall, settled in England and for more than forty years was music master at Uppingham School.
The Concerto's orchestral introduction is brief; almost at once the soloist is launched on his fascinatingly wistful melody. The cadenza, written by Mendelssohn himself, occurs at an unusual place in the opening movement, shortly before the return of the main theme.
A note sustained by a bassoon forms a link between the first and the second movement, which has a charmingly lyrical melody; and the finale, a marvel of lightness and gaiety, is prefaced by a short but expressive slow section.

The action of the play takes place on an autumn evening in Ireland. The time is the present.

The war horse of ancient times was swift to catch and revel in the scent of battle. He went, "Ha, Ha among the trumpets" and plunged into the fray. In such a way does Dacey Adam behave. He is the central character in Walter Macken's play Twilight of a Warrior, which Henry Sherek presents in television tonight - and what a warrior he is. Life, for him, has always been a battle; having fought and commanded through "the troubles" in Ireland, he fought his way into prosperous Dublin society and sits now "at the desk, master and lord of us all, with strings from his fingers reaching out to the lot of us, twitching here, pulling there".
He has won some famous victories but, when the play opens, he is presented with an antagonist worthy of him: Abel Martin wants to marry his daughter, and Abel is young and strong and without guile. Their battle of words and wit should be memorable, especially since Liam Redmond plays Dacey and Stephen Boyd (fresh from his triumph in the film "The Man Who Never Was") plays Abel. (Elwyn Jones)
