Dvorak's Slavonic Rhapsodies were among the first results of the introduction Brahms had given him to the Berlin publisher, Simrock. On Brahms's recommendation, Simrock published Dvorák's 'Moravian-Duets '. They were immediately successful and Simrock asked for more pieces in the same national vein. The immediate result was the first set of eight Slavonic Dances and the three Slavonic Rhapsodies for orchestra, of which Sir Donald Tovey has aptly said that they ' show his naive genius in its most amiable light, when his mastery and inventiveness had already attained ripeness and the world had not yet told him how naive he was'.

This is the first of a series of monthly talks directed to members of the Women's Land Army. Unlike their comrades in the uniformed services, women in the Land Army are scattered in small units all over the country ; in consequence they are inclined, every so often, to get out of touch with the main organisation. It is to maintain contact that these talks are being given.
Lady Denman has been Honorary
Director of the Women's Land Army since the beginning of the war. This evening she will introduce her assistant, Miss Brew, who will be the regular speaker in the series.
