A
work for solo violin and
orchestra, commissioned
by Donald McDonald for
the 21st birthday of the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra and the 60th
birthday of the composer.
It was first performed in
November 1993 in Glasgow,
by James Clark and the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra conducted by
Maxwell Davies. The spell
is one quoted by George
Mackay Brown in his book
An Orkney Tapestry: 'Let
not plough be put to acre
except a fiddle cross
first the furrow.'
Davies's dancing concerto
imagines the fiddler
following a route from
field to field, from
dance to dance,
accompanied by a bunch of
companions in the form of
an orchestra. As the
music goes on, so it gets
brighter and livelier,
moving from the dark
colouring of clarinets,
bassoons and strings to
full ensemble with
prominent brass and
(solo) tuned percussion,
as if the dancers as much
as the fields were
beginning to glow with
new life. Score
(miniature). Duration c.
20mins.
Urtext. Composed
by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Edited by Klaus Hofmann.

When
an editorial formula
proves to be as
compelling as in the case
of the E-major Concerto
BWV 1042, then its
obvious that it is going
to be applied again: this
time to Klaus Hofmanns
new Urtext edition of the
A-minor Concerto. Bachs
manuscript leaves several
questions unanswered. The
slurring, particularly in
the solo part, is once
again equivocal and
inconsistent. Bach
himself expected his
performers to be
creative, which is why
the interpretative
suggestions of Baroque
expert Sigiswald Kuijken
are particularly welcome.
The edition for violin
and keyboard instrument
(with continuo ad lib.)
once again contains three
violin parts (the first
unmarked, the second with
markings and comments by
Sigiswald Kuijken, the
third as a facsimile).
This provides
well-grounded stimuli for
ones own personal
interpretation based on
historically informed
performance practice. The
keyboard arrangement by
Siegfried Petrenz is
transparent and easy to
play. A violoncello part
has been added for
chamber-music.
Bac
h's manuscript leaves
several questions
unanswered.
