      Busoni         Second Sonata for Violin and Piano Op36a         \n\nMu
 ch refreshed\, our founder and Artistic Director\, Karl Lutchmayer\, return
 s to England?s shores\, with a briefcase full of thought-provoking new prog
 rammes. Having retired entirely unequal to his self-appointed mission of im
 parting the subtle art of irony to his American students\, it comes as no s
 urprise to find that the first half of this concert celebrates Englishness 
 and satire.\n\n Perhaps best remembered for Façade\, the manifestation of h
 is attachment to the Sitwells and all things satirical\, Walton later devel
 oped an impassioned and brooding voice\, perhaps nowhere more evident than 
 in his rarely heard violin sonata written for Yehudi Menuhin. As for Lord B
 erners\, where else\, but at Conversational Concerts\, would you have the o
 pportuity to hear the music of the last of the gentlemen amateurs\, who com
 bined lives as a diplomat\, author\, painter and composer\, as well as bein
 g a well-known eccentric? A beacon of British Modernism\, and a friend and 
 inspiration to the Sitwells and Walton (to whom he was also a patron)\, his
  dissonant and witty funeral marches were some of the most critically accla
 imed works of any British composer of the period.\n\nOur second half pander
 s to Karl?s twin obsessions\, opening with Alkan?s extraordinary etude for 
 left hand alone\, which he first heard in his teens\, and has been summonin
 g up the courage to play ever since! The concert ends with one of Busoni?s 
 most haunting works\, written in the shadow of the death of his mentor\, Br
 ahms\, and perhaps the finest late-Romantic violin sonata of them all. All 
 this\, and cake too ? definitely an afternoon not to be missed.   \n\n\nTic
