On Saturday evening we saw the Florestan Trio playing Beethoven chamber music at the Wigmore Hall in London. The great moments for me were:
1) The beautiful opening cello melody in the adagio of the Piano Trio in Bb Op.11, said to be Beethoven's first introduction for that instrument
2) The rapid violin notes in the Presto Finale of the Piano trio in G Op.1 No.2.


Unusually for this venue we had a car parking problem. Arriving one hour before the end of paid parking time we used a credit card machine to pay. It accepted the credit card but failed to issue a ticket so I left a note to that effect on the dashboard. On returning to the car we found a penalty charge notice. Now we must wait to see if the charge appears on our card statement. All readers note; Westminster City Council takes no prisoners ! A Spanish couple we knew, who misunderstood the regulations, had their car towed away.
