Once when Mozart urgently needed a concert-piece he took four movements from a serenade and called them a symphony (the 'Haffner'). Last July a symphony derived in the same way from another ' Haffner ' work was conducted by Anthony Bernard , and tonight a third serenade (K.320) is being used. This is unfamiliar principally because its length precludes frequent concert performance. It has nine movements, of which two marches, a minuet, and a miniature wind-band concerto are being omitted tonight. The remainder is fully worthy of symphonic status. The movements are: Adagio, leading to Allegro; Andantino; Minuet; and Presto Exceptional points of interest are the recurrence within the Allegro of the slow introduction, and the dark-hued
Andantino in D minor.
All Schubert's symphonies (the third of which shows his debt to Mozart) are being played in chronological order in the Home Service. No. 4 will follow on September -28. Michael Whetvell
Appeal on behalf of the Braille Centenary Fund, by John Mills
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
This year is the centenary of the death of Louis Braille, the blind Frenchman who invented the embossed dot method by which the blind read and write. In the hundred years since Braille died his system has become universally accepted throughout the world.
The demand for Braille is constantly growing, and present methods of production are inadequate to provide the necessary books, text books, children's books, and periodicals—the latter including the Braille Radio Times. To meet this deficiency the three principal organisations producing Braille for Great Britain and the Commonwealth—the National Institute for the Blind, the National Library for the Blind, and the Royal School for the Blind, Edinburgh-are co-operating in an appeal to raise £ 120,000 which, in addition to putting the production of Braille literature on a sound financial basis, will also be this country's tribute to the life and work of the greatest benefactor of the blind.

Sir Thomas Bertram is persuaded to offer a home to his wife's niece, Fanny, daughter of an impoverished Lieutenant of Marines; and the child is introduced to Mansfield Park by her Aunt Norris , Lady Bertram's elder sister. Homesick and frightened, Fanny is comforted by the kindness of her cousin Edmund, to whom, as she grows older, she becomes deeply devoted. The two Miss Bertrams grow up to be the acknowledged belles of the neighbourhood. During their father's absence in the West Indies, Miss Maria-encouraged by her Aunt Norris-decides to marry Mr. Rushworth, a wealthy but dull young man who has inherited a neighbouring estate. Sir Thomas's consent to the marriage has just been received when Mrs. Norris brings the interesting news that two young people of fortune are coming to visit Dr. and Mrs. Grant at Mansfield Parsonage.
