'Music and the Ordinary Listener'
GRAY and CLAUDE POLLARD
THE theme is that which begins the Trio
(i.e., the central portion) of the Minuet. in Beethoven's Sonata, Op. 31, No. 3. The two pianos give out this tune antiphonally. and then proceed to five ingenious and enjoyable Variations. The Fourth of these is in the style of a Funeral March, and then, after a trill and a cascade of notes, the final section starts in fugal style, one piano setting forth the melody and the other taking up the chase, the two working up the fugue very brilliantly.
