THE STATION ORCHESTRA, conducted by Frank CANTELL
The music from which this Fantasia is constructed was written by Mendelssohn for performance during a stage representation of A Midsummer bight's Dream, a play which gives many openings to a musician. There is fairy music (well known to those who have heard the famous Overture); Bottom and his clowns ; the Ass's head; many a song and many a dance ; and, of course, the Wedding March.
A BALLAD is a long narrative poem, to be recited or sung. Here the term is used, as it often was by romantic Composers of the nineteenth century, to denote a piece of poetically-speaking music that in its outlines and contrasts and general procedure suggested the telling of a story. Of such works the most famous are the four Ballads of Chopin. This is the first and, Pianists say, the most difficult.
