Though Mendelssohn's two Trios do not contain any of his deepest thoughts, they are full of suave melody, and the graceful, adroit writing for the instruments is noteworthy.

Of the four Movements in the D Minor Trio (his Op 49) we are to hear the tranquil Second Movement, and then the Finale, which opens with an oft-recurring rhythm. Tapped in chords or sung in melodies, now soft, now loud, it charmingly pervades the Movement.

Concerning Saint-Saens' Second Piano Concerto it is said that Rubinstein, the great Pianist, suggested that Saint-Saens and he should together appear in a concert as Soloist and Conductor respectively. There were three weeks before the event was due, and the Composer promised to write a new Concerto for the occasion.
He did it easily, with several days to spare, and as ever, played his work brilliantly.
We are to Hear the last two of the Concerto's three Movements.
The Second Movement (Quick and playful) is a dainty piece of work. The opening (plucked Strings, to an undercurrent of drum rhythm) is a charming way of launching a Movement. In a moment the Piano sets its capricious dance going, and we know wo are in for a jolly time.
The Third Movement (the Finale) as also a very lively piece in the style of the excitable Tarantella dance.
