Things that need doing and ways of doing them
Quartet in E flat, Op. 127 played by The Stratton String Quartet:
George Stratton (violin) ; Edwin Virgo (violin) ; Watson Forbes
(viola) ; John Moore (cello)
Beethoven's Quartet in E flat, Op. 127, was commissioned by Prince Galitzin-to whom it is dedicated-in 1822. But Beethoven was entirely occupied with his Ninth Symphony and was unable to begin work on the quartet until 1824, when staying among the pinewoods of Baden.
' In it we find ', says Vincent d'Indy, ' the crowning expression of that love of nature of which he gave such wonderful evidence in the course of his career.'
It is in four movements, all of which are built on elaborate lines. Particularly noteworthy is the second movement, Adagio ma non troppo, which consists of a theme and five variations.

I - Manning Sherwin
Geraldo and his Orchestra with Dorothy Carless, Len Camber, Jackie Hunter, and George Evans
A programme of music by Manning Sherwin including some of his biggest successes and some lesser-known works by this popular 'tunesmith'
Presented by Douglas Lawrence
The tunesmith to be featured in this first broadcast of a new series is . the popular composer of 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. Incidentally, Manning Sherwin, an American who came to this country in the summer of 1938, lives just off Berkeley Square, where no doubt he got his inspiration.
One of his more recent outstanding successes was 'I've got you where I want you', which was heard at the Saville in Up and Doing since the war. He composed several numbers for Magyar Melody and Binnie Hale , one of the happiest of them being 'Music for Romance'.

Frank Merrick (piano)
FRANK MERRICK AND ORCHESTRA
Piano Concerto No. 3, in E flat Field
Frank Merrick has been heard not only in many broadcast recitals but also in the ' Foundations of Music ' series. He has been a professor at the Royal College of Music, where many gifted young pianists have passed through his hands. In 1910 a programme of Merrick's own music gained a diploma of honour at the International Rubinstein Competition in St. Petersburg. During the Schubert Centenary Celebrations, Merrick won a competition for the completion of Schubert's ' Unfinished ' Symphony.
