Benno Moiseiwitsch is one of the greatest pianists living. He was only nine years old when he won the Rubinstein prize for piano playing as a pupil of the Imperial Academy of Music in his native city of Odessa. He stayed there for five years, later going to Vienna under the maestro Leschetizky. He played at his first Queen's Hall concert in London in 1909, and scored the first success of many that have endeared him to his public over here.

Overture to a Picaresque Comedy
Arnold Bax 's Overture to a Picaresque Comedy is a very gay and exuberant work. Dedicated to Sir Hamilton Harty , it was first performed at a Halle Concert in Manchester in 1931, and since that time it has become one of the most, popular of Arnold 'Bax's works.
Tchaikovsky's Theme and Variations
Tchaikovsky began the writing of his third orchestral suite at the end of April, 1884. During this time he was keeping a diary in which he noted from day to day the development of his work, which appears to have cost him a considerable amount of trouble.
The Suite was completed at the beginning of July and first performed some time later at St. Peters-burg under Hans von Biilow. The Theme and Variations form the last movement of the Suite.
