Upon receiving this completed movement, Briselli complained yet again, this time that it was too difficult and unplayable! Barber had given this finale the direction 'Moto perpetuo' le mot juste ! There is an opening flourish on the timpani and the soloist introduces a fiery motive above a rhythmical jabbing accompaniment. This returns almost rondo-like throughout. A whirlwind of a coda at vertiginous speed and utter brilliance, showed Fels and Co exactly what pyrotechnics were all about. What a pity nobody thought of playing it (greatly amplified) as Y2K struck, and National Monuments became a blaze of colour and light! 'I write for the present and I write for myself!' Samuel Fels demanded that his money be returned, and Barber, who had already spent it in Europe, called in another violinist (Oscar Schumsky) to demonstrate his composition to both Fels and Briselli. One can find evidence ( New York Times , 29 June 1980) that the violinist summoned to prove Barber's point, was Herbert Baumel, another violin student at Curtis. In fact, the theme and variations around this sad affair are many and varied in claim and counter-claim.

Dvorak was only too happy to oblige, since he had a passionate interest in the folk music of his native land. But he widened the scope of his pieces to embrace the Slavonic music of Ukraine, Poland, and Serbia. The result, published in 1878, was a set of 8 Slavonic Dances, which brought the composer instant international fame and a commission for a second set a few years later. The eighth and final dance of the first set is based on a Bohemian dance known as a Furiant. The music is fiery and impetuous in character, even though the name bears no etymological connection with the English word "fury!" . Rhythmically it is in three-beat meter, but with two-beat patterns superimposed. Although Dvorak adopted the style, form, and rhythm of the Furiant, the actual melodies and harmonies are completely original.

Barbara Heninger Samuel Barber Violin Concerto The lasting popularity of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings , Op. 11 (1936) may make one assume he was always considered an accomplished composer for strings. Yet when he came to write his only violin concerto this ability was questioned by his sponsor, who refused to pay for the work. The story runs thus: in 1939 soap tycoon Samuel Fels offered Barber a commission to write a piece for his adopted son, violinist Iso Briselli, a fellow student with Barber at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (both graduated in 1934). Barber took an advance on the commission and traveled to Switzerland to compose, finishing the first two movements. He continued to Paris but found the Nazi threat required all Americans to leave the country, so he returned to the U.S. and showed the unfinished work to his sponsor. The first movement - allegro molto moderato - begins with a lyrical first subject announced at once by the solo violin, without any orchestral introduction. This movement as a whole has perhaps more the character of a sonata than concerto form. The second movement - andante sostenuto - is introduced by an extended oboe solo. The violin enters with a contrasting and rhapsodic theme, after which it repeats the oboe melody of the beginning. The last movement, a perpetual motion, exploits the more brilliant and virtuosic character of the violin.
