THE ÆOLIAN PLAYERS: JOSEPH SLATER (Flute),
ANTONIO BROSA (Violin), REBECCA CLARKE (Viola) and GORDON BRYAN (Pianoforte) MOZART wrote over forty Violin Sonatas, most of them marked by an extreme simplicity of texture and a daintiness .that has been lost in later works of the same kind. Two of the forty nro in the key of E Minor, and each of those consists of two sections only. MAX REGER (1873-1916) is one of the comparatively few modem Composers who have kept largely to classical models. His music has power and is closely woven; indeed, the thickness of texture and the richness of harmony amount sometimes to stodginess. Roger's works total nearly a hundred and fifty-a remarkable output for a man little over forty. Piano Solo, ' Hymn to the Sun' Rimaky-Korsakov (New Concert Transcription by Gordon Bryan)
