- Hugh Wood: Violin Concerto No. 2 (Opus 50): First Sketches and Movement III in Short Score
- Scope & Content:
-
Commissioned by the Milton Keynes City Orchestra. First performed 23 January 2009 at Milton Keynes Theatre by Alexandra Wood (violin) and the Milton Keynes City Orchestra, conducted by Sian Edwards.
Wood's programme note is a helpful guide to the sequencing of the draft material in this file: 'The first sketches were made in August 2002, after which I wrote to tell [Alexandra Wood] of my plans. As always with me, progress was slow, but I got as far as a fair copy of the last movement in short score by April 2003. I tackled the finale next – in the autumn of 2003 and then (after breaking off to write several smaller pieces) to complete it in August 2004. The slow movement was written last in September and October of 2004.' (For Wood's programme note, see MS Mus. 1893/1/5.)
