The ironic interlude with which a completely naked speaker wearing only a bow tie punctuates the sketches of the Flying Circus, an irresistible show airing on the BBC from 1969 to 1974 signed Monty Python, a collective of British actors-intellectuals who brought English humour to sidereal levels, meanwhile talking about history, art, philosophy, music, with an intellectual acumen that has never reached. Moreover, as the first of the American Lessons by Italo Calvino recalls, lightness is not superficiality, but rather a subtle irony that manages to reduce the burden of sadness through a living and brilliant intelligence.
So is music (like culture) English, if we think about it. It's never heavy. From the Edwardian echoes of the wise Elgar, in whose repertoire stand out the Enigma-Variations, up to the production of William Walton, of which the first Suite with the brilliant entertainment Façade, and Ethel Smyth, with the Concert written for the unusual combination of horn and violin.
