Lord Mayor of Manchester, ' The Meaning of Manchester's Civic Week'
THE Lord Mayor has been the prime mover of the city's Civic Week, and his appearance before the microphone to explain the origin and nature of the celebrations is as gratifying as it is appropriate.

A Concert given by PAST and PRESENT STUDENTS of the ROYAL MANCHESTER COLLEGE OF MUSIC. Relayed from the Milton Hall ANNIE GREGORY (Soprano) MICHAEL COLLINS ('Cello) ETHEL EVA (Soprano)

THIS is shorter than most Concertos, the usual three Movements being condensed into one, which, however, preserves the three sections characteristic of the form.
The first theme, played by the solo instrument, is much used throughout the work.
In the middle section we have a charming miniature in the style of a Minuet, in wluch the 'Cello is accompanied by Muted trings.
TCHAIKOVSKY'S Violin Concerto bears the J- Opus Number 35 (i.e., it is approximately the thirty-fifth work of about eighty in all ; it thus immediately precedes the first of his most famous Symphonies, the Fourth.
The Concerto was written in 1878. It consists of three Movements, but the end of the Second leads straight into the Third.
The First Movement begins with a short Introduction (moderately quick) in which the Solo Violin is silont, but the First Main Tune is hinted at in the Strings.
When the Soloist enters he is left alone for a moment or two ; when he starts the First Main Tune (at a very moderate pace) he is very quietly accompanied by the other Strings (chiefly plucked). The Soloist repeats the First Main Tune an octave higher, with great elaboration. He continues with more and more brilliance, the Whole Orchestra gradually entering and building up something of a climax.
Again the Solo Violin is left alone for a moment, and then introduces the smooth Second Main
Tune.
This lasts some time, and, with the First Main
Tune, forms the basis of a lengthy, elaborate Movement, full of energy and glitter, especially for the Soloist, who at one point has a prolonged, showy Cadenza, or free unaccompanied display passage.
LISZT made innovations in the methods of musical structure, some of which are to be noted in this work. Its Movements are played without break, and the chief themes appear in more than one of the Movements.
