MUSICAL NOTES.

THE SCHNEIDER TRIO AGAIN

BRAILOWSKY-STOKOWSKY" -WHAT'S IN A NAME?

[BY ALLEGRO.]

A month or two ago I wrote "As- there are possibly some people in Hong Kong who will expect the Schneider Trio to be a group of airman, I must explain for their benafit that the trio are musicians.” It is perhaps necessary to repeat that intimation on the eve of their

return.

Their Arst concert will be to-mor row, and I really have a hunch that it will be wall attended. There are no clavicombelo or piano solos on this occasion, the entire programme huing devoted to piano trion, and as the artistle merits of these por farmers were evident on thoir pre- vious visit, there is no doubt a to the musical treat in store.. Their friends and admireri here will be

pleased to know that they have had

k

most successful tour in Japan,

·having given “additional concerts on several occasions.

The Helena May Institute hus again been chosen for their recital. There is nowhere else for them to go but in any case this hall is chamber wainently suitable for music, except for the extraneous noise from the Peak tram

Later in the weak, the Trio make tripa to Muena and Canton, I be lieve, returning here for a concert at the Gorman Club on Tuesday, April 11, and a second recital at the Helena May on the 20th

At the April 90 concert, they will play a trio by Joseph Marx, atom- posor who is almost unknown to London audiences, except for a few
