Poetry Reading by MARY WILLETTS

ONE of Brahms's most intimate friends was the great violinist Joachim.
This Violin Concerto, the only one Brahms ever wrote, was dedicated to him, and Joachim, besides taking a great interest in its composition, and advising about some points of fiddle writing, himself wrote the cadenzas for it.

Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks Richard Strauss TILL EULENSPIEGEL is, of course, the legendary highspirited joker of the thirteenth century, well enough known in this country since Queen Elizabeth's days as Till Owlglass.
In a Prologue Strauss presents two aspects of Till. The Violins speak of his pensive, gentler side, and the Horn, in its capricious, bounding tune, tells us of his roguishness.
His adventures include a mad ride through the market place, upsetting, everything, then a masquerade as a monk (m which guise he preaches a mock sermon) ; next he falls in love, and after that ' pulls the legs' of a lot of dry old pedants. When he tires of them, he goe3 off whistling a jaunty street song.
A high moment is reached when the whole Orchestra gives forth the second Till theme, slowly and majestically : ' 'Till at the height of his glory.'
But at the last Till is arrested and tried. His protests of innocence are useless. He is hanged. (Trombone drop, Clarinet shriek, and Flute trill.)
Last comes the Epilogue, with its mingled thoughts of wistfulness and gentle smiles. After all, we muse, he was an ingrati ating rogue, with some thing lovable in him.
