BRAHMS was not a violinist himself, but he wrote well for the instrument as though he knew all about it. He certainly had the opportunity as a young man, for one of his first engagements was to tour through Germany with the gypsy violinist, Eduard Remenyi , as his accompanist. When they got to Hanover, Remenyi took Brahms along with him on a visit to Joachim. Brahms was then twenty, and unknown, while Joachim at twenty-two was already an acknowledged virtuoso. This was the beginning of a life-long friendship, and when Brahms, a quarter of a century later, contemplated a violin concerto, it was for Joachim that he wrote it.

From The Park Lane Hotel

In the original version of Gounod's Faust produced in Paris at the Theatre Lyrique, the only ballet was in the Kermesse scene of the second act. Ten years later the composer revised the work for production at the Grand Opera, and the traditions of that theatre demanded something more elaborate in the way of ballet. The two authors of the libretto accordingly raided the second part of Goethe's Faust, untouched for Gounod's original opera, and made use of the revels of the Walpurgis night. There, in Goethe's play and in this revised version of Gounod's opera, Faust meets many of the famous women of old, Cleopatra, Helen, the Trojan Women, and other personages of myth and legend. When the opera is given in this country this scene is almost always omitted.

(At the Pianoforte, Jack Byfield)
