Wilfrid Parry (piano) Rameau's five little concert suites, originally written for six strings, bear curious titles, the origin of which is a matter of speculation. There were three generations of viol players of the name of Forqueray, to one of whom the first piece may have been dedicated. ' La Timide ' has been explained as an allusion to a pupil of Rameau's.

Irish Cup Final
A commentary by A. D. May , during the second half of the match
English League football has suffered severe blows since the war. Not only have many young players been called up, but difficulties of transport have rendered it impossible to hold the fixtures as of old.
In Northern Ireland, however, transport difficulties have been considerably easier, and, with shorter distances to cover, the various League teams have been able to meet one another without difficulty.
The Cup Final always provides
Belfast with a great day, and listeners in other parts of Britain may count upon hearing a match in which football is of the highest possible order.

Till Eulenspiegel was a character who lived in Germany in the fourteenth century and around whom in later years a whole set of legends and funny stories was woven. Till represents to Strauss the man who, under the mask of a sly rogue, mocks at our petty world and ridicules its long-established institutions.

Evening prayers
A comedy specially written for broadcasting by Denis Constanduros
Cast The action takes place in the depths of the country
Production by M. H. Allen
This is Denis Constanduros 's tenth radio play, and in it this accomplished young radio playwright runs true to form. A Dog's Life tells the story of Mr. Portico, who believes that unconsciously one becomes like one's surroundings, and that change is the very essence of life itself. Love comes to Mr. Portico in the visit of the Pomfret family and in the person of the daughter Diana. Diana , however, has a dog. The dog has distemper, and Mr. Portico has asthma. It would not be fair to disclose the strange results of the mixing of these circumstantial ingredients.
