Conductor, John Hopkins Richard Strauss' father was the leading horn-player in the Munich Opera Orchestra, so the composer must have been familiar with the instrument from his earliest years. He wrote two concertos for the horn, both of them in the key of E flat (the key favoured by Mozart for his horn concertos). No. 1 dates from 1885, when Strauss was twenty-one; No. 2 was written in 1942, towards the end of his life, and like h:s other works of that time it flows along easily, in reminiscent mood. and its texture is rich yet translucent. The opening Allegro (which is very typical of Strauss, with its wide-spaced intervals and its exultant character) is linked to the slow movement, a hauntingly beautiful Andante con molo; the finale takes the form of a Rondo, Allegro molio, in six-eight time.

The promise of a smooth career as governess at Thornfield Hall was not belied for Jane Eyre on a longer acquaintance with the place and its inmates. At first Mr. Rochester's attitude to Jane, though kindly, was brusque. Later when he met her, the encounters seemed welcome.
One night Mr. Rochester's bedroom caught fire, but owing to Jane's presence of mind his life was saved. He forbade her to mention the incident, and she concluded that the mysterious Grace Poole was to blame.
Jane learned from Mrs. Fairfax that there was to be a house party at Thornfield. Predominant among the guests was the beautiful Blanche Ingram, much admired by Mr. Rochester. Jane, bidden to accompany Adele to the drawing room where the guests assembled after dinner, was exposed to much rudeness from Blanche Ingram on the subject of governesses.

Talk by Jacobine Hichens
'I don't think there is any particular virtue in putting your head in the sink and leaving it there,' says Mrs. Hichens, 'provided the plates get washed.' She contrasts the age in which women fought to have careers with the present age when careers are thrust upon them, and suggests that a professional life and a home life can be combined to general advantage.
Third of a group of talks by representatives of 'the Queen's generation.'
