Guards Officer, I came to be marooned on the small island of Elba off the west coast of Italy. It was my own fault: my curiosity had led me to aid my uncle to smuggle money to the Emperor Napoleon on his lonely rock of exile. And you know, too, how Monsieur Francois , the secret agent, obliged me to impersonate a courier carrying despatches to Bonaparte. To the late Emperor of France those chests of money meant--escape! For little Elba, that sleepy cluster of grey peaks on the broad, blue Mediterranean, was too small a kingdom for Napoleon-and he had a bitter score to settle with Europe ...' (Roger Graham )

Chopin
Nocturne in F sharp, Op. 15 No. 2 Sonata in B minor, Op. 68
During the next six months most of the works of Chopin are to be broadcast in the Home Service. The scheme, which will embrace his concertos and chamber works in addition to the bulk of his piano music and his songs, will not be confined to a particular series but will be spread over various recitals and concerts. The greater number of them will be in the evening, though there will be a series of lunch-time piano recitals of waltzes, beginning on October 22, which will include those by Chopin.
