Beethoven Allegro Largo Rondo alla Polacca This Trinle Concerto. a most unusual form, is thought to have been composed about 1804, near the time that the ‘"Eroica"’ Symphony was written. It is dedicated to Prince von Lobhkowitz, Reethoven’s patron in those days. But the two works scarrely resemble one another in subject matter and maturity of thought. The " Eroiea" is a monument, the Concerto a relatively. inferior work. It belies its period, and shows traces of the earlier inflence of Mozart. But the work has mueh of interest. and the employment of three solo instruments lends it a certain distinction. 10.0 MUSIC, MIRTH.
