Waldo- Warner (viola), C. Warwick FE vans (’cello), Robert Cherwin (contrabass), and Ethel Hobday (piano), Allegro, Theme and Variations, Finale, from Quintet in A Major ("The Trout’) Schubert In the summer of 1819, Schubert set off on a carefree holiday with his friend Vogl. The trip began and ended at Steyr, a charming little town near Linz on the Danube (where in 1892, Richard Tauber first saw the light). It was for a group of his friends there that Schubert wrote this Quintet. He performed the unique feat of composing the parts without making any score, and played the pianoforte part at the first performance without having written any of it at all, One of the movements is built up on his song " The Trout" from which the Quintet gets tts name. 8.26 Phyllis Read (mezzo-soprano) "Come to Me in My Dreams " Frank Bridge "J Will Go With My Father A-Ploughing " ..
