The F major String Quartet of Schumann is the second of three quartets dedicated to Mendelssohn which Schumann composed in the remarkably short space of five weeks. It is, however, an unequal work, but, as Ernest Walker points out, it rises to great heights in the Variations that form its slow movement ; particularly so in the variation where rich quiet chords melt into one another in deeply expressive harmonies. No more finely imaginative inspiration ever came to Schumann '.
Mendelssohn's chamber music contains some of his best and most fascinating works, notably the Octet in F for strings (composed at the age of sixteen), the Piano Trios in C minor and D minor, and the six String Quartets, which, if unequal in quality of inspiration, contain movements of transparent beauty.
The Quartet No. 1 in E flat is thoroughly representative of Mendelssohn's style, with its richness and beauty of melody, polished workmanship, and clarity of detail and design. In this quartet the usual scherzo movement gives place to the well-known pizzicato Canzonetta which is an irresistible flash of genius.

Aida is one of the most melodious and genial of Verdi's operas. It was commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt who wanted an opera of exceptional splendour to display the resources of his fine theatre at Cairo. Thus Verdi chose a subject that centred round Pharaoh's brilliant court, which was carried out by three collaborators.
In Act I Ramphis, High Priest of the Egyptians, tells Radames that it is decreed that he shall lead the army against the Ethiopians. Radames is deeply in love with Aida, daughter of the Ethiopian king, Amonasro, but now captive at the Egyptian Court. Amneris. the Egyptian Princess, also loves Radames, and finding him indifferent towards her, watches him and Aida. The rest of the act is concerned with the investiture and consecration of Radames as Commander.
