In 1979 when Andrew Lloyd Webber composed a set of variations on Paganini’s A-Minor Caprice that seemed perfect for a ballet; the “Song” originated a year later with a one-woman television show, Tell Me on a Sunday , consisting entirely of musical pieces. Two years after that both works were presented together in London as a full evening’s entertainment.
