The Arthur Dulay Quintet , one of the most popular light-music combinations in broadcasting, consists of two violins, viola, and cello, with Arthur Dulay himself at the piano.
Dulay began his career as a pianist and also lectured on musical appreciation for the London County Council for two and a half years. Soon he became a cinema pianist, when he gained the distinction of being the first musical director in this country to compose a complete score for a silent picture.
