Bach : arranged for Orchestra by ....... Arnold Schonberg (Bach, born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died at Leipsic, July 28, 1750. Schonberg, born at Vienna on September 13, 1874; now living) The Prelude and the Fugue are not necessarily joined together, but are regarded as independent composition. The Fugue is com- monly known as "St. Ann's."* The first performance of Schon- berg's arrangement was at a concert of the Cincinnati Orchestra in Cincinnati, in February, 1930. Concerto in D minor, for the Pianoforte (K. 466) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Born at Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died at Vienna, December 5, 1791.) This concerto was completed in Vienna on February 10, 1785. It was performed for the first time at Mozart's subscription concert on February 11, 1785, "auf der Mehlgrube." This was the first of a series of subscription concerts given on Fridays.
