Relay from 2YA TASTENERS who appreciate chamber musie will be delighted to learn that a broadcast of the Symonds-Dl-wood-Short Trio will take place on the evening of Tuesday, April 1. Listeners will remember the regular appearance of this trio at 2YA before y the inception of the first full studio * orchestra. The broadcast will be a re- ; \ lay from selections of a recital to be given at the Town Hall, Wellington. The regular programme will be interrupted.at approximately 8.15 and 9.20 p.m. to allow the relay to go over. The items chosen will be the "First movement of the Archduke Trio" by Beethoven, and the "First Movement of the Quintet in OC Minor," by Dohnanyi. o 3 The Beethoven trio is considered to be the finest trio by this great master and it was written during his most mature period. The first movement opens with a particularly. arresting melodious subject. Dohnanyi is the greatest Hungarian pianist of the present day and’ a composer of outstanding qualities. The quintet, written at the age of 18, created much favourable notice upon its first performance _ throughout Europe, and a great musical 4 position was predicted for the youth- "", ful composer. This will be its first ' performance in New Zealand, and music lovers may look forward to hearing its unbounded joyousness and rich melodiousness. In the latter item the Symorns-Hllwood-Short trio will be assisted by Mrs. Brie Meier, viola, and Mr. W. B. McLean, vidlin.
