Until Tchaikovsky wrote his Pathetic Symphony, no responsible composer had dreamt of framing a whole Movement in 5-4 time - that is, with five beats to a bar throughout. When they first heard it, some musicians did not find that 'the sounds of music crept into their ears' at, all restfully, but nowadays we find nothing disturbing in this unsymmetrical rhythm.
The Movement opens rather daintily; the middle part is full of tragic foreboding, with an unvaried note throbbing in the bass ; then the dainty ideas return.

8.0-8.30 (Daventry only) Mr. J.C. Flugel, The Psychology of Food and Dress - IV, The Different Kinds of Dress
Types of clothing and bodily decoration vary far more than can be accounted for by climate or such utilitarian considerations. Some peoples adorn themselves with tattoo marks and scars; some seem to design their costumes to make themselves look taller; others emphasize the round contours of the body, and so on. In this talk Mr. Flugel will try to lay bare those psychological principles that underlie the floral wreaths that suffice for the clothing of a Samoa women and the top-hat and bustle of Victorian England; the metal collars with which Padaung women distort their necks and the familiar plus fours.
