Bach's Sonata for Violin and Obligato Piano No. 2 in A major. This was fol­ lowed by Brahms's Sonata No. 3 Opus 108, and then his Hungarian Dance No. 1.

But the East European atmosphere was predomi­ nant, with stunning virtu­ oso performances from Marat Bisangalier in pieces by Sarasate and Wienaws-

been quoted to bring in new traffic calming mea­ sures, but Lancashire County Council only has a £8,000 budget for the work and Clitheroe Town Coun­ cil is unable to offer finan­ cial assistance at this time. One of the main areas of
