Lyapunov (1859-1924) was a pupil, first of Nicholas Rubinstein , then of Balakirev. He turned most of his attention to orchestral and piano music, but towards the end of his life he wrote the present Sextet for strings and piano. It is a very attractive work, particularly the romantic slow movement (Nocturne). The first and last movements have a certain Brahmsian flavour.

Here is the first instalment of a new serial thriller introducing those vague, cricket-loving Englishmen, Charters and Caldicott, who, created by Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford , delighted picturegoers in that breathless film The Lady Vanishes. That they are to broadcast in the parts they made so peculiarly their own on the screen is real good news for listeners.
Once again Charters and Caldicott are on a world tour, on their way back to England. In the Arabian Desert they are on their way to visit one of the lost cities, when thei' charabanc breaks down. They meet a Sheik's caravan. He turns out to have been at the same school with them, and they ride triumphantly to Baghdad on camels. By which you will see that there is colour and laughter here. But it is in a cabaret at Baghdad that all the trouble starts. They are mistaken for spies and handed plans of military importance cunningly hidden on a record.
See this week's Radio Miscellany for more news about this serial.
This programme is arranged by Charles Gardiner and Robin Whit -worth. A number of men and women will come to the microphone to tell how their lives and work have been affected by the war, and how they are ' carrying on '.
A talk by ' Onlooker '
Remember that ' Onlooker ', whose weekly talks deal with all kinds of topics that the war has made of national and world importance, is anxious for the co-operation of listeners in the choice of subjects in his future talks.
