In 1930, when she was in Prague, her Piano Concerto was given its first performance by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and her music soon became known all over Europe. Her chamber music, in particular, was before the war performed regularly at festivals of the International Society for Contemporary Music. Her chief chamber works include an Oboe Quintet (which won a prize in the 1933 Daily Telegraph competition for chamber music), and three string quartets.

and postscript

Presented with gramophone records by Hubert Foss

Hubert Foss is extremely versatile. Besides being an experienced broadcaster he is a journalist, accompanist, composer, and an authority on typography. Foss has known William Walton for many years, and as he saw most of Walton's manuscripts through the press, probably knows more about Walton's music than most musicians. Walton has established himself both in this country and on the Continent as Britain's leading composer of the younger school.

This evening you will hear excerpts from some of his most representative works: 'Scapino' Overture, first movement of the Viola Concerto, Scherzo from the Symphony, and one movement from the 'Facade' Suite.
