Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
In November 1870 Brahms's friend C. F. Pohl , author. of the great standard biography of Haydn, showed him a curious and little-known work by the eighteenth-century master : a Feldpartita in B flat written in the 1780's for Prince Esterhazy's military band. It is scored for two oboes, two horns, three bassoons, and serpent. Brahms was immediately impressed by the work ; he copied into a note-book the second movement, entitled ' Chorale St. Antonii '. But the variations by which he made that Chorale one of the world's best-known melodies were not written till the summer of 1873. Debussy's ' La Mer ' consists of three symphonic sketches that vividly describe the beautiful and varied characteristics of the sea. It is scored for a large orchestra which is used with restraint and exquisite variety of effect, the actual handling of the-harmony and orchestration showing a sensitiveness for colour that both in style and in application bears a distinct resemblance to the Impressionist painters' use of the palette.
Story for motherly motorists, by John Ein. Produced by John Cheatle
Many a car-owner of better days, regretting the fading but still loyal efficiency of a long-loved roadster, must have wished that so staunch a friend couli be sire to a progeny of other cars who would all take after father and serve their owner for his lifetime I However, it requires the skill of the radio technician rather than the wishful thinking of the ordinary man to bring such a state of things about. In short, this radio play is the romantic story of how two motor cars become, miraculously, the parents of a baby car.
'Pipples', the baby car, however, is no ordinary vehicle, but grows into a super-machine, so full of useful tricks anu unique appliances that the life of the owner becomes one of perpetual delight.
