Dvorak's ' Legends ', Op. 59, ten in number and dedicated to Eduard Hanslick (the much abused Viennese critic and original of Wagner's Beckmesser), exist in two forms: for piano duet and for full orchestra. They were written in th'e winter of 1880-81, immediately' after the conclusion of the so-called First Symphony in D.
The pieces are all fairly short and thoroughly characteristic of Dvorak's delightful melodic, harmonic, and orchestral style.

Francesco Maria Veracini , not to be confused with his uncle, Antonio Veracini , also a well-known Florentine violinist and composer, was one of the greatest Italian musicians of the first half of the eighteenth century. (The dates of his birth and death-1685 and 1750-are the same as Bach's.) Torchi, in his ' Rivista musicale italiana ', goes so far as to call him ' the Beethoven of the eighteenth century
Veracini visited England in 1714, and he was in London again during 1735-45—perhaps till his death, the place of which is not certainly known. Burney says that his music was ' too wild and flighty for the English at that time '.

Part 1
God Save the King John Ireland was born at Bowdon
(not ' Bowden ', as ' Grove ' spells it), Cheshire, in 1879. From 1893 to 1901 he studied at the Royal College of Music, four years of this period being spent under Stanford. His earliest mature work, the Phantasy Trio in A minor, dates from 1908.
' A London Overture ', first played in its present form at a Promenade Concert last September, is based on some of the material of an Overture for Brass Band written in 1934 as the test piece for the National Brass Band Contest at the Crystal Palace. But the two overtures have little in common except this basic material.
Ireland wishes this Overture to be regarded as No. 4 of his ' London Pieces ', the first three of which- the piano pieces ' Chelsea Reach', 'Ragamuffin', and Soho Forenoons' -were written in 1917-18. Solo pianoforte, IRENE SCHARRER
