Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 2, featuring Adolf Scherbaum on trumpet, William Browder on flute, Theodore Lowi on oboe, and Sheldon Kurland on violin; Mozart's Symphony no. 31; and an excerpt from Smetana's Ma Vlast.

The flute in the Brandenburg was played by prominent mathematicisn William Browder, who was at the time Cornell University associate professor of mathematics. The oboe was played by Cornell professor of political science Theodore Lowi. In Very Good Condition: one vertical crease through the middle; clean and intact.
