Mischel Cherniavsky (cello)
Saint-Snens's Cello Concerto in A minor was composed in 1872 and first performed at a Paris Conservatoire concert in the following year. In its construction it shows the influence of Liszt, for it is in one continuous movement, consisting of three sections that in outline correspond to the three movements of classical procedure. Rut these sections are all thematically related to one another: the music is almost entirely based on the thematic material announced in the opening allegro section.

' The farm-worker's part'
James Pressy , Wanford Durston , Charles Swatton , William Marchant
This evening the foreman, dairyman, shepherd, and carter of a well-known Wiltshire farm are coming to the microphone to discuss the parts they are playing in the war effort to produce more food from the land.
It is difficult to overstress the importance of the skilled men on the land today. They are responsible for directing the operations of the many voluntary helpers, who, however willing, cannot have acquired the experience of regular hands. Tonight each of the speakers will discuss the part which his own department of the farm can play in increasing production on the land.

2-' Should we pray for protection ? '

May 31, 1916
Compiled by ' Taffrail'
(Captain Taprell Dorling , D.S.O.,
F.R. Hist.S., R.N.)
Produced by John Cheatle
Once more ' Taffrail ' presents an aspect of war in terms of radio. You have recently heard his dramatic impressions of the work of the convoys and the mine-sweepers-now comes his radio reconstruction of the greatest naval engagement ever fought. ' Jutland ' has been broadcast before, but it is an epic well worth repeating on this the eve of its twenty-fourth anniversary.
From contemporary accounts of both sides ' Taffrail ' has reconstructed "the story of the great naval engagement of 1916 in which the Grand Fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe fought the German High Seas Fleet under Vice-Admiral Scheer. The Battle of Trafalgar lost the British Navy 1,663 men killed and wounded ; at Jutland the figure was over 6,000. Jutland was a mighty framework in which was set on both sides all the bravery and traditional honour of the sea.

i (Section C)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Clarence Raybould
In 1812 a new theatre was opened at Pesth, for which Kotzebue wrote two plays, King Stephen, or Hungary's First Benefactor and The Ruins of Athens. For each of these plays Beethoven was commissioned to write- an overture and incidental music.
King Stephen deals with an episode in the life of Stephen I, who brought Christianity to Hungary in the tenth century and was later canonised. To this day Hungary is called after him ' the realm of St. Stephen '. The Overture, though not one of Beethoven's greatest, is full of melody with a strong Hungarian flavour.
