For his Second Symphony William Words-worth was awarded first prize in the Edinburgh Festival competition two years ago. There were sixty-one entries from thirteen countries, and the final adjudicator was Sir Arthur Bliss. 'A symphony in the true sense of the word,' was his comment; ' each of the four contrasting movements is firmly built and skilfully formed.'
