Sonata in E (Op. 109), Last Movement
THIS, marked ' Slowly, in a singing style, expressively,' is a set of six clearly-marked Variations on a tender Tune. The First varies the Tune but little; the Second is light (twelve notes to a bar) ; the Third, a lively minor one, keeps the left hand moving all the time ; the Fourth changes to three-time with three to a bar, and gives us solider, chordal harmony ; the Fifth has flowing internal parts, in the ' contrapuntal ' (= weaving) style ; the Sixth has many trills and rapid arpeggios. The original Tune is simply repeated as a Coda.

THIS talk begins what promises to be a most interesting series, in which a distinguished poet and critic of poetry will discuss the work of men who were overrated in their own time' and are in danger of being underrated in ours. Professor Lascelles Aber
' crombie is not himself a Victorian, but an-essentially modem poet. He was Lecturer in Poetry at Liverpool University from 1919 to 1922, when he accepted the Chair of English Literature at Leeds. Since then he has published three notable books on ' The Theory, of Poetry,' ' The Idea of Great Poetry,' and ' Romanticism.'
