Notes: 

The song by Schubert was "placed here in the programme, as the vocalist has to catch the London train this evening".

Although the Mozart piano concerto in C major is listed in the programme as no.5, op.415, the musical examples on p.17 indicate that it is the one now referred to as no.13, K.415.
