Sonata in C, Op. 1
1. Allegro; 2. Andante; 3. Scherzo: Allegro molto e con fuoco
Throughout his life Brahms composed music for the pianoforte, particularly in the very early period and again towards the end of his career. Between the music written at these two periods there is a wide difference. It was said at one time that the one fault of Brahms' pianoforte works was that they were not piano music. In those days he thought in terms of the orchestra even when he was composing for the piano, but his later works, particularly the series from opus 116 to opus 119, are amongst the finest pianoforte music in the repertory. It would almost seem that until he had exhausted his obsession for orchestral treatment the true technique and quality of the pianoforte escaped him.

Do you notice that the policemen look very young nowadays? That is a sure sign of middle nge. Another is a general loss of elasticity of mine and body. Not quack medicines, nor violent treatments, but the sane application of simp!e health rules given by qualified doctors in this series is the proper way to postpone midd'.e-ago indefinitely,
' Judea '-III
Mr. NORMAN BENTWICH (Professor of International Relations in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) : ' The Jews today '
In spite of two thousand years of persecution, the Jews survive today as a religious unity and as a people. There are, approximately, 16,000,000 Jews in the world, of whom 10,000,000 are in Europe, nearly 300,000 of them in Great Britain. Mr. Norman Bentwich estimates the importance of this international community not only in commerce and finance, but in all departments of modern life and thought. Accurate information on an often distorted subject.
