3YA'S FINE TRIO

NEXT WEEK’S ATTRACTIONS WORKS OF THE MASTERS. The Christchurch Broadcasting Trio, whose playing is so eagerly looked forward to by all lovers -of good music, has an excellent repertoire for next week, ‘The well-known composer, Reissiger, has been drawn upon for much of the classical portion of the programme. His famous jmovements,: ‘Moderato allegro passionata’’ (from Trio in D Major), "Andante quasi allegreto" and ‘'Capriccio," as well as the bright and lively ‘"‘Scherzo," ‘will ‘be: played. The trio-will also give selections from that fine French composer of fascinating grace..and -polish, Delibes, when ballet music from ‘‘Copellia" will be played. In ‘his genre of composing ballet music Delibes was little short of a@ genitts. He was a master of prace, and an inventor of entrancing melodies, This ballet was vritten nearly half a century ago, yet its charm is undiminished, and with each hearing its grace and beauty make fresh appeal. "Dreaming," a selection u mn Schumann, will also be played. A small, though exquisite, work of genius is this beautiful sonnet. Just why ~-agic. may sometimes lie in a few simple notes is one of the things that has never been satisfactorily explamed, but when we hear Schumann’s "Reverie" we feel that something exquisite las ‘reached out to us from the soul of the composer. Once heard, it is never forgotieu. Thetrio will also play the- celebrated "Nocturne" of Chopin. This nocturne is still the most popular composition in this form that the Polish genius wrote, and the public hrve decided to.choose this one in preference to many others. ° Another piece to be plaved will be "Romance," by Mozart: This charming number is of a strongly rhythmical character, in which the optimist tendency of much of Mozart’s music is clearly defined.
