Brahms's Sonata in A is one of his most melodious and lyrical works. It was conceived while spending the summer of 1886 on Lake Thun. Brahms's friend, Widmann, wrote a little ballad on the music, describing the scenes that inspired the composer. The first verse. freely translated, runs : ' Where the Aar flows softly from the lake to the little town many beautiful trees cast their shadows. I lay deep in the long grass and slept, dreaming lovely dreams.'

This famous trumpeter first broadcast from Belfast with Bob Dryden in 1929. At the end of 1930 he joined Billy Cotton at Ciro's. 1931 saw Gonella with Roy Fox. The following year he joined Lew Stone , and remained with him for three years.
He formed the Georgians about eight months ago. They have played the Holborn and principal halls throughout the country, are still on tour, and are booked to appear in France and Holland. There are six instrumentalists-tenor, saxophone, bass, guitar, piano, trumpet (of course Gonella), and drums (Bob Dryden , with whom Gonella first broadcast), They were on the air in a National programme on January 24.
It is an interesting fact that after Nat Gonella had rheumatic fever at the age of fourteen, he developed a weak heart and was forbidden by his doctors ever to touch the trumpet again. Gonella is of Italian ancestry but British born; his vocalist, Jimmie Messini, is British born but of Greek descent.
