Symphony No. 4, in D minor played by the BBC Orchestra, conducted by Clarence Raybould
Schumann's Symphony No. 4, in D minor, is an extremely romantic work : each movement is closely related to the others in thematic material.
Although the themes are developed in a somewhat improvisatory manner and the-, scoring at times is insufficiently well'cal^ culated, it contains a wealth of beautiful music which outweighs any of its defects.

Address by the Rev. W. D. L. Greer
by John Pudney , presented by Stephen Potter
John Pudney , novelist, poet, newspaper columnist, one-time radio writer and producer, now with the R.A.F., has just published ' Dispersal Point ', a collection of twenty-five poems on and for the men of the Royal Air Force. While some of the poems are entirely lyrical, others bear the stamp of the trained journalist concerned only with the topical idiom and the topical event. One poem called ' Jack Overdue ' has been set to music.
Pudney will be best remembered by many listeners for such radio plays as Uncle Arthur and Edna's Fruit Hat.
