Notes: 

The Corelli violin sonata in A major performed on this occasion was probaby op. 5, no. 9. The toccata in D minor by Wood is problematic, however, since it is not clear who the composer may have been. Henry Wood made an important orchestral arrangement of Bach's toccata in D minor, but it has not been possible to verify if he also wrote one himself for solo organ.
