Sir WALFORD DAVIES
Following Ernest Newman 's six interesting talks, Sir Walford Davies returns to the microphone this evening to give the first of six talks on ' The Unexpected in Music '. He will discuss, with numerous examples at the piano, the sudden turns of melody, harmony, and rhythm which often arrest the ear in the otherwise even course of symphony and sonata movements. Most of the examples will be taken from Beethoven, for he is one of the richest of classical masters in unexpected effects.
