Brahms had many innocent love affairs. One of the most important as a young man was with Agathe von Siebold, the daughter of a famous professor at Gottmgen University. When it became evident that he was expected to marry Agathe, Brahms, as he was later to do so many times, turned tail and ran away. He never forgot Agathe, however and in 1864 he wrote his String Sextet No. 2 in G which he dedicated to her. In the first movement the name of Agathe is introduced on three occasions by the first and second violins playing the notes A-G-A-D-H(B)-E.
and his Band with Celia and Eddie Bryant
A short story by Algernon Blackwood, read by the author.
For the last thirty-four years Algernon Blackwood in many a story has proved himself master of the supernatural. His first book, 'Empty House', led to successes like 'John Silence' and 'Jimbo', and paved the way for perhaps his biggest success, 'Prisoner in Fairyland', which was published in 1913, and was afterwards produced by Lena Ashwell at the Kingsway Theatre in a stage adaptation by himself and Violet Pearn, with music by Elgar.
He has been reading his stories at the microphone for the last four years, having made his radio debut in 1936 in 'In Town Tonight'. He televised in 'Picture Page' on the first day of television from Alexandra Palace.
