Wagner Before making his home at Bayreuth in 1872, Wagner lived for some years at Triebschen, near Lucerne, in Switzerland. Here, in 1869, a son was born to him and his second wife; it was that auspicious event which inspired this Idyll. Its composition and the rehearsals were kept a secret from Frau Wagner, and performed as a surprise to her outside the villa. Wagner himself conducted, and the faithful Hans Richter took the trumpet part. Scored for a comparatively small orchestra, the little piece is based on themes which are, with one exception, taken, from the musicdrama of Siegfried, completed in the pre‘vious year. The one exception is an Old German Cradle Song which Wagner introduced with the happiest effect. 10.0 MUSIC, MIRTH AND MELODY 11. 0 Daventry news and close of normal programme.

-- Fiedelman. In the fingers, the brain, and the very soul of Spivakowsky lies the power of genius for violin’ playing which enabled him to lead the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of eighteen. He had played his first concert work ten years before. His violin, a Guarnieri del. Jest (18th century) is seldom out of his sight. Tossy’s father is a professional musician, and two of his brothers are talented pianists. New Zealand music lovers who heard him in his tours of the Dominion are not likely to forget his Kreisler-like tone. 8.37 The BBC Wireless Singers, "It was a Lover and His Lass" Morley "Where the Bee Sucks " Arne "Come, Let Us Join thee Roundelay " ..........
