Sir Donald Francis Tovey was probably the most versatile musician that England has ever produced. He excelled as pianist, composer, conductor, teacher, and musicologist. Although his compositions reflect his classical learning and bias and show no inclination to follow the trend of twentieth-century musical thought, they are full of strong individuality.
The Variations to be heard this afternoon were dedicated to the distinguished cellist Robert Housmann , who for many years was cellist of the Joachim Quartet and died in 1909.

Isobel Burnett and Ronald Robb will sing some old favourites and Scottish dance music will be provided by Alec Sim and his Septet
Presented by Tom Dawson
Alec Sim , of the Alec Sim Septet, hails from Dunkeld, but has spent the greater part of his life in Aberdeenshire. In the last war he toured the Western Front with Lena Ash -well, and now in the present one he is continuing to entertain troops in Scotland with his fiddle.
Dufton Scott , who shares the programme with the septet, is an entertainer whose monologues and delineations of Aberdeenshire life have won him popularity, far beyond his native Inverurie. He writes all his own material and was among the first artists to broadcast from Aberdeen when the station was opened in 1923. \

String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51,
No. 2 (in four movements) played by The Hirsch String Quartet-Leonard Hirsch (violin) ; Henry Ball (violin) ; James Verity (viola) ;
Kathleen Moorhouse (cello)
Brahms's two String Quartets, in C minor and A minor, comprising Op. 51, were both written in 1873 and first performed by the Joachim Quartet. Comparing the A minor Quartet with its companion, Dr. Hermann Deiters points out that in its feminine tenderness and plaintive charm it stands in marked contrast to it.
' In the first movement of this
Quartet the principal subject is simply but clearly worked out, while the second theme expresses a deep, touching tenderness. The melodious slow movement overflows with hope and resignation and breathes a tone of earnest meditation, afterwards broken into, in the scherzo, by an outburst of quick, pulsating vitality.
' The last movement is full of energy and newly-acquired confidence, so that a searching enquiry into the spirit of the work will disclose the four movements joined in a poetic unity.'
