On the program are Ludwig van Beethoven's 7 variations after "The Magic Flute"; Robert Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 73; Frédéric Chopin's Introduction and Polonaise brillante in C major, Op. 3; "Lerchengesang" (No. 2) from Johannes Brahms's 4 Gesänge, Op. 70; and "Largo" from Chopin's Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 65.
