He did not Overstate Brahms’s significance as an artist when he coined the phrase. It was not intended that comparisons should be made, since to compare Bach with Beethoven or Brahms with Bach, would be like comparing claret with port, or a rose with a carnation. That there are certain points of contact cannot, of course, be denied. But each of the three composers represents, more or less, the culmination of a musical epoch. Bach: (a) The Adolf Busch Chamber Players, From "Suite No. 4 in D Major " aes Overture Menuetto and Trio (b) Choir, Orchestra of the Bach Cantata Club, "Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" 8.17 Brahms: ’ (a) Egon Petri (pianist), "Variations on a Theme by Paganini" (b) Beniamino Gigli (tenor), "Wiegenlied" 8.36 Beethoven: Simon Goldberg (violin), Paul Hindemith (viola), and Emanuel Feuermann (’cello), Serenade in D Major 8.0 DAVENTRY NEWS 9.10 Dominion and district weather reports and station notices 9.15 Ringside description of the wrestling match, relayed from the Town Hall 10.

Cockerill, R. Murchy and C. Draper, "Introduction and Allegro for Harp with Strings and Woodwind Accompaniment" .. Ravel Despite its title, this work is usually spoken of as the " Ravel Septet." The writing for the harp is particularly effective and a listener, ignorant of the true heading

of the work, could be forgiven for thinking it to be a concerto for harp and small orchestra... Written in 1906, it has all the charm and "esprit" that has made Ravel's quartet (composed three years earlier) one of the most popular of modern chamber works. 9.26 Lucie Capparet (piano), "Minuet of the Sonatina" Ravel 9.30 Studio recital of Delius songs by T.
