A. S. Arensky (1861-1906), a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, is one of the most interesting of minor Russian composers. His ' Variations on a theme of Tchaikovsky ', in its original form, was scored for violin, viola, and two cellos, a combination producing a suitably elegiac tone colour. It was rearranged for the normal quartet as a more practical ensemble, and was later arranged for string orchestra.
The theme is taken from_ Tchaikovsky's beautiful song ' Legend
('Christ in His Garden ').

Haydn wrote twelve symphonies in all for Salomon, the impresario who brought him to London-six on the first visit in 1791 and six on the second in 1794. They are acknowledged to be the finest of all Haydn's hundred odd symphonies, and it is pleasant to reflect that London's hospitality was the occasion of Haydn's surpassing himself.
For some unknown reason, the No. 104 in D, the second of the Salomon symphonies, is known as the ' London ' Symphony. It represents Haydn at his greatest as a symphonist, and it may well be compared, with most of the others of this series, with the best symphonies of Mozart.
