DOROTHY ROBSON (Soprano)
THE HENRY BRONKHURST TRIO : JULIUS ROSTALL (Violin) ; EDWARD J. ROBINSON (Violoncello) ; HENRY BRONKHURST (Pianoforte) rIS Trio (or Terzett, as Mozart called it) was written in that year of extraordinary productivity 1788 (in July, the month which saw the birth of the G Minor Symphony). This. and the other works for Pianoforte, Violin and 'Cello, were mostly written for his amateur friends. This in C (it is numbered K.548 in the authoritative list) is quite easy, and is in three Movements-two quick ones, between which is a Slow Movement, in singing style.
HURLSTONE, who died in 1906 at the age of thirty, was a composer of sensitive feeling, who left some fragrant Chamber music.
This Trio has. four Movements; the First strong and graceful, the slow Movement in thoughtful mood, a high-spirited Movement and a fiery Last Movement that has as its Second chief tune a Scots folk-song.
